I drool over the high priced stuff too but it is out of reach and if I was honest with myself I am the limiting factor on the accuracy of every firearm I own and throwing money at equipment won't make me a better shooter. Lead down range would help the most. If I can't have fun with like minded people I don't want any part of it.

Hang your loader, drive tractor into it and decide where the final loader position will be. When your happy, build from frame out to loader. That is what I had to do when I married a Quicke loader that came off a JD 2510 to my 656. In the beginning they were not too fond of each other but are living happily together now?.

Yes tipsy with the narrow front. Can it be done yes, I've done it, also tipped it over once. Didn't hurt anything but could have been a real bad deal if my clothes would have snagged on something when I jumped. . I wouldn't recommend it especially if you don't know who might use it. I used mine to unload hay off a flatbed trailer stacked two high. Pick up just enough to back up and get the bale to the ground as soon as it cleared the trailer. Never was comfortable with it but needed a loader tractor on both ends. I've always had an M or SM for a loader tractor around and still do. Done a ton of work with them. If you really want to make a loader tractor out of it I strongly recommend finding a wide front end. Good luck and be safe.
