Coles County, Illinois | Everything is a compromise. For me I need a 100hp 4500# capable loader for the farm but it's too big to store and use at home. (I don't live on the farm.) So I have a 25hp mfwd with a loader for snow removal and general lifting at home. It's very handy for tight quarters and surprises many loading full buckets of rock and grading work. If I had to have just one loader I think like others here that 50HP would be a minimum. It would be kinda bulky for tight work and weak for field drainage work, unloading pallets of seed or chemicals.
My experience with add on backhoes (I have one) is that they can dig ok if you take slices instead of bites but they're slow. I only really use mine to fix tile so 4' deep is about all I need to dig. | |
