That breaks the camels back.... In my marriage.
But what do you guys think of a Ford 6600? It would replace the Deere 5103 loader tractor for bagging feed sacks.
I can't lift a ton (2000 lbs) when I bring commodities in, and I can't lift 1500 pound sacks over the side of trailer by their loops. Only when they are on a pallet. Which doesn't work to load different landscape trailers etc. The 5103 is really easy to maneuver, start, and get on and off, comfortable , etc. so I'm worried about that.
Since I started grinding corn I feel like I can't do a lot of things that need done because my loader tractor is tied up at the grinder. I don't think I can do a bigger Deere tractor, or even really find a suitable one.
I truly hope your fear is ungrounded.

page suggests you will be able to lift a ton - - - - barely.
Maybe you could use the 3pt hitch for the heavy lifting? (fill using front end loader, then load the bag on a pallet using the 3 pt?)
