Contrary to most opinions I want to get a front loader for my Jubilee. I know nothing about the kind to get or the hookups needed or what not to get or what things I should watch out for. I have a lot of dirt to move around and don't plan on over working the loader. There is a bone yard on the NC/SC border that is supossed to have them for 2/3 hundred dollars, But I know very little about them to know if I were buying a misfit or what. Can someone just give me all the basic data I need to look for. My Jubilee, under the seat, has a plate with what looks like some fittings. I don't know if these fittings are original or not. I don't think they were added on. I suppose a trip bucket would be all right as I just plan on picking up dirt and then dumping it. I know that I would like to avoid the "gym set" type where you have to climb over and under, to get off. Also I would like , of course, one that is easy to put on and take off. thanks in advance

I also have a box blade for my 8n, its a great implement to have but don't get confused. If'n you think you can move 8 ft. dirt piles with it youre goiN to be there all day on one pile and the dirt doesn't fall down when you nibble away at it. I have a 5 ft. bucket on mine FEL (could send you and e-mail if you listed it in your posting) and I can scoop into the top of the pile and take the load with me (anywhere for that matter). Try doiN that with a box blade. Alot a people would just make do, but when you got to have something done get a FEL. Of course I've only moved 80,000 lbs of bolders from an old barn and about 200,000 lbs. of fill dirt with it but what do I know. Send me an e-mail and I'll show you a nice one. HTH Paul

Unless you are going to be loading a truck etc to move the dirt you would be better off with a good box blade. It would be quicker and easier to operate and a lot less expensive and aggravating than a loader on one of these old tractors witout power steering. It won't take long to finish off the steering whey you use a loader a lot on an NA or N tractor.

I have about 65 tons of dirt in a pile. Can a box blade handle a pile like that. I don't have far to move it.Can I chew my way into the pile and get rid of the dirt that way? In otherwords will the pile fall down as I work my into it and thus let me move all of the dirt?

Thanks for all the info oslo in NC

At 10 tons a load that wold be only about 6 or 7 loads and I have moved a lot more than that in a day with a box blade. You just have to start nibbling away at the edges.

I once knew a man who started a very successful construction company and the only pieces of equipment he had to begin with was an 8N ford tractor and a box blade. At the time the county road depart ment would bring dirt to a site for building drives and not charge for it. (vote gathering) Then he would just move it to where it was needed. He is retired now and sold a very big construction company when he retired.

What you need is a loader with power up and down pressure with a walk thru style. With a front mounted hyd. pump. The ones you find at a scrap yard are the ones you'll have to fix up. Buy new if possible or aquire one off a tractor you can see using it. Something that has been laying around for years should probably stay that way if'N you're really planning on using it.
