In Reply to: 8n - adding a loader posted by bumpamartin on July 30, 2008 at 16:59:38:
A loader on an "N" works just fine, IF you do it properly. MUST have 16" tires on the front to keep tires from digging in on the turns. MUST have a counter weight on the back of the tractor. Requires enough weight on the back to make it steer with one hand when the bucket is empty. My backhoe weighs 1,500#. I allways have a minum of 500# on the back. Loaded rears will also help with traction. Sherman under drive will also help. I have the Sherman over/under...excelent addition to any "N"! You can tie down the 3 point and use the internal pump for hyd, BUT it is too slow and stops when you stop, you won't be happy with that. Works best with a front mounted pump driven by the crank.
Here's mine, has had a loader and backhoe on it since the early 80's, worked comercialy for 18 years of that, NEVER had any problem with the front end or the rest of the tractor due to either.
