Chilliwack, British Columbia | Have you thought of putting a little ramp somewhere? A farm I worked at many moons ago had the same payloader, and loaded a 1022 Loewen on a Truck. Had a few of those cement block in a "U" shape, with gravel in the middle, on a slope. Loaded the truck from there. Worked well. Or how about a rollout bucket? They seem pretty slick, know of a couple local dairies that use those. Would like one for my skidsteer.
How fast does the TM go down the road? Are mixers available with brakes? May be a cheaper option if the tractor can already go high road speeds, unless you are looking at reducing hours on the tractor as well.
Apparently old logging trucks work good, extra heavy suspension.
