I've got a DI with a loader. They are heavy. The basic tractor is the same
but they usually have a foot clutch. That's got a lighter loader on it than
the one on mine (mine says Case "40"). Does it have live hydraulics? How
about power steering? They get awful hard to steer with a loaded bucket, no
rear counterweight and no power steering (I want to add power steering to
mine when I get it back in the shop). They countered with a huge ratio on
the steering so once it's moving you have to turn a LOT to get it pointed
where you want.

Let me know if you have questions. I'll help as I can.
