Hi all, I've got a 4610 that I would like to put a loader on. First question, I'm concerned if the 4wd axle is safe to handle the weight/use of the loader? I know parts are hard to find for them, and I'm very leery of breaking it! All I would be using it for is 4x5 round bales, running about 700lbs.
Second question, the loader I have is a factory Ford loader off of a 4400 backhoe. Originally, the hydraulic system was powered off of a Cessna rotary pump driven off the crank (i do still have the pump). Can I tap into the tractors hydraulic system somewhere to run the loader? The loader uses the left side of the frame for the hydro tank, but I feel like if I just tied the loaders spool valves into the tractors system, I wouldn't need to use the loaders tank?
Thanks! Bryce
