cj2002b,

Thanks one and all for the ballast recommendations! The rear tires are not filled at this time, but will be in the very near future. Before the second problem occured, I had rationalized the first as a loading / balancing related issue.

Would the ballast be an explainable cause of the second problem? Are the rest of you in agreement with 2ndHandLion?

I was also the driver at the time of the second event. At the time, the tractor had been moving in a straight path for about 40 feet using a 5 foot set of s-tines which only penetrate the hard ground about 4-5 inches or so. This was the fourth pass of the arena, so things were fairly loosened up. The bucket was definetly empty, in a lowered position and tilted up. The one thing I left our of my original posting was that there was a rut made by the right rear tire which ran about 6 feet and curving slightly to the right. I realize this sounds like I applied only a right brake, but I did not. The brake pedals have "connected" since I got the tractor.

I have used the tractor in paddock work, driven the tractor on the dirt subdivision roads in range C, and done substantial snow removal on our driveway and never had a hint of the second problem.

-----------

As for the well being of the loader, that is yet to be determined. The very corner of the bucket is what hit the post and the 5 inch dent was actually a buckle in the side wall of the bucket, not the front cutting edge.

Thanks again for all of your input!
