[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1449846, member: 27848"] My experiences are just the opposite. Look at it this way. Why is it stressed that towed loads be connected to the tractor at or below the axle? You're right on. Because the load offers a lifting effect on the front end and the higher the resisting force on the rear (with respect to the tractor height) the more feet in the ft-lbs of torque (resistance) applied to the tractor's movement. Subsoilers apply a lot of pounds which helps to apply a large lifting (moment) to the tractor frame, making the front end light. Leaving you loader in place helps to offset that, just like the either 9 or 11, 55# (as I recall) weights did for the front of my JD 4230 which had no loader and is the same reason that I not only leave my loader in place when running my Hay King Pasture Renovator, I load up the bucket with gravel on my current plowing tractor (Branson 6530C).
