    Looking at the front end
    I also bought a 4 foot box grader to go with it. I originally thought that a front end loader would be the handiest attachment, I may be changing my mind, the box grader rocks. I can pull it completely full of gravel from the bottom of the driveway to the top (up a slight grade - maybe 10%) with no problem.
    I bought the tractor with a Koyker 80 loader. This seem to be more than I need for anything reasonable. The guy I bought it from indicated that the backend of the tractor would lift up before the loader was overloaded (I haven't tried that for obvious reasons). It can pickup the front end of the tractor without any problem.
