I've wondered about that. Can't imagine operating a rear mounted loader or hoe from an N can be much fun. Something I'm having fun kicking around as a notion is redoing my more normal loader. It's a Wagner, but it's a hatefull thing. The idea is to make a more modern loader framework on the tractor. That way it's lighter, and much more accessable. Then have it so that I could quickly remove the loader itself, while leaving the framework and the hydraulic pump on the tractor. Then I would always have available live hydraulics and controls. The framework also includes mounting points up front for a simple and light weight backhoe (nosehoe?). Wouldn't have the capacity of a normal backhoe, but then I don't need that much capacity. With one of those extending boom type of arms, I could use the loader hydraulics with no additional modifications or plumbing. With quick connect hydraulic couplers and steel pins for impliment mounting, I could have quite a versatile quick change rig. I've been having fun doodling around on paper with this idea. It just might work, and helps me rationalize the welder I bought. :-)
