Ford Front End Loader

Haven't put eyes on it yet. Owner says it has a Ford tag on it and you can mount the tractor from the side. Curious how robust the unit would be if converted to an actuated dirt bucket. Not concerned about the work involved but more about durability. Would it compare to an N Series Paulson loader?
Thank's

"Curious how robust the unit would be"

My experience has been if you try hard enough you can bust any loader! Conversely, if you try you can probably make any loader work! It's all in knowing (& respecting!) your loader's limits!

Much heavier than a Paulson. You will break the tractor before you break that loader.

Thank's, not looking at a big bucket anyhow on my 8N. If we end up horse trading for it I'm going to weld up the front axle support better for insurance. As for breaking stuff I tend to take it easy now days. Save the big cubes and 3 grand clutch dumps for the next guys antique. I'm broke.
 
And a guy does have a tendency to go for
the gusto with a loader.
I've had the rear wheels off the ground
with this thing a couple of times.
It has 4500 lb lift capacity.
