I have an ancient ford 650 with a fel to move manure, so old no downpressure hydro on the bucket. Calcium filled tires are a must. I also have an early 90's JD 670 that I 've had since new that my ex insisted that I leave with her. Just picked it back up, serviced it and put it to work.
As to mowing, I used to do 4 acres with the 670 and a 60in belly mower, and it was a pain. Luckily I had a quicktach for the loader and could lose the bucket, but even then it was dog slow compared to a good zt.
If you are just going to mow, zt all day. If you need to move landscape, then a tractor, obviously. For snow removal, I'm not a loader fan-you either need a tractor with a killer rear blower or a truck with a plow. Nice setup is what my neighbor has-a used 4x Gator with a plow.
