Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I look in on OT but don't sign in often.
I have the quick release bucket so I only take that off to mow. My rear mower is about 800lbs so the loader helps to co-balance that even with the bucket off. As I've discussed in some threads, I bought 3" rear wheel spacers from The Tracks Company. They're well made and make me feel a little more stable both mowing the sides of hills and when using the FEL on a slight side tilt. I've still raise a rear tire off the ground a few times using the loader at odd angles with a 750lb weight on the 3 point.
I think widening the machine helps. I'd do it again and probably stay with the same spacers. I really don't see a down side as long as you have all your lugs tight. Hope this helps.
