Tim is candid about struggling with the larger tractor's loader visibility and control, and he shares honest observations comparing bucket versus box blade work. Best for owners curious about practical 5075E loader limitations.
An owner-operator channel where Tim documents hands-on projects on his own property, often alongside neighbors, with an informal and self-deprecating style.
Tim says visibility is a lot different and not as good, even with the camera system, making the loader harder to control than expected.
Tim says the loader will pick up well over 3,000 pounds, and he can load the bucket full enough that he cannot lift it to full height.
Tim feels the bucket is more efficient since a box blade requires grabbing dirt twice, though his neighbor Rex prefers the box blade.
Tim says getting the bucket and boom over the truck edge is not enough, you need full lift height to fully dump the bucket.
