I've got what I believe to be a 1965 Ford 3000. It doesn't appear to have many options (4 speed, no live PTO etc). In addition to mowing with this tractor, it would be nice to be able to move gravel and dirt, nothing too extreme. Just trying to make my rig more versatile.
Is it possible to fit a loader on this tractor? If so, what loader should I be considering. It might take me some time to track one down if it's possible. "Luck favors a prepared mind" so if I know what to look for, I might stumble upon the right one.
My tractor doesn't have any hydraulic connections to run a loader so how would a fella power one? Should I also be looking for a pump that would be driven by the PTO? And if so, is there a specific one I should keep an eye out for?
I'm frequently in rural areas with my job and drive by a lot of farms with old equipment deteriorating in pastures. With a keen eye, I might just see one that I could inquire about.
Thanks guys.
