It is amazing what the 2520 will do, I have 850 lbs of ballast on the back and I can lift 1100 lbs. You really need ballast if you are using the loader, it is very dangerous to lift without it.
I have to agree with TB but your point was also very well conceived. Looking out for the other guy!Sorry TB, we are just concerned that guys who don't know anything about tractors see pictures like that to justify not using ballast.
