The operator is having trouble steering it these days :) The jubilee used to have a loader on it before I bought it, which wound up taking out the front wishbone bearing (that's what I call it anyways). So just the tractor with a bush hog right now, no loader, could probably rig auxiliary hydraulics if I wanted to run a pump conversion on it. It's just old habits I suppose how I mow with it, gotten used to operating it a certain way.
The 871 has a 503 loader with wheel weights and sits closer to 5,000 pounds right now. All my fields are soft and I would drop the tractor in instantly except maybe in a dry august. It's also too much power for me in the fields since it's a 50hp and the selecto speed isnt happy with itself anymore. The gear that runs the 3pth also is broke off inside the engine, so if I were to do a 5 speed swap id do that replacement at the same time. I just use it in a few speeds to move equipment off from trailers and stuff. It's more of a bumble along tractor as someone put it.
Have to look more into a cheaper kit and see how it's powered. Also wondering about an electronic assist instead?

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
