I had a 455 for 4 years with bucket, never had to worry about my bucket and weight in the back 100 pds or so. I have the 4110 now for about a week, love it. I took off the rear blade tonight and was moving some cut fire wood. dug into a big pile and lifted a bunch of wood and off the ground the wheels came. realy just one becasue I was at an angle. So it is very true to put enought weight on the back. A small job can run into a big job when it comes to lifting stuff. I thought I was going to just move a few logs in a bit but I got a full bucket. I was lucky and learned a good leason. So all of us new to this great tractor please respect it too.
Roger

Roger, a point well made. I was doing some dirt work the other day with the 4410 and loader, had the box scraper on for counter ballance, bucket was full and aprox. three ft. up. While backing up one rear wheel droped off a ridge, the tractor ballanced a bit with one rear wheel off the ground but thank goodness went back down. We just have a standard policy around here of never starting an engine whether it be on a compact or our largest farm tractor without fastening the seat belt, so my belt was fastened. So no matter whether you've driven tractors for 50 years,(Me), or driven your first tractor yesterday, please fasten your seatbelt if your tractor has a roll bar Work safe. Frank. ....
