Hauled a bit of wood home from my son’s place. And took the Case 446 with newly attached Kwik Way loader home too. It’s a great help with the wood.

Re: Loader and firewood.
Noel Just remember the more weight you put on the rear the more you can lift ,the more weight and stress on front axle and wheel bearings ....

Re: Loader and firewood.
Noel, maybe some combine weights would help. Only problem they are getting rarer than hens teeth.

Re: Loader and firewood.
I add three 42lb suitcase weights to my hydravac bracket in addition to my wheel weights for my snowblower setup. The suitcase weights mount to some rods stuck through the hydravac bracket. A bunch of washers separate the suitcase weights. Might give you some ideas.

Re: Loader and firewood.
Noel, I think your two link tire chains are terrific. I don’t see many GT with themMattA wrote: ↑Tue May 13, 2025 10:55 pm I add three 42lb suitcase weights to my hydravac bracket in addition to my wheel weights for my snowblower setup.

Re: Loader and firewood.
2 link tire chains will give a smooth ride with less slipping than 4 link chains.
