Currently we have a 1985 JD 644C rated at 162 HP with a 3yd bucket. It only gets used 1-2 hours a day. Seldom have more than 2000lb in the bucket. Never ask it to do much "hard work" like digging/pushing etc. Occasionally use it to pick up lime or fertilizer delivered in bulk off the ground.
Get the 521 with a 3 yard bucket. It’ll swing 2,000 pounds or less all day long just as well as your current loader, most likely faster. It’s pointless to pay for a big loader if you don’t need a big loader.
