Patrick: The classic use for a trip-bucket loader setup was for loading manure out of a pile, typically one that had been built up over the winter when it was difficult to spread it on the fields. While this beat the alternative (namely, a pitchfork) all hollow, it is far from ideal for most uses. You will find a trip-bucket loader to be very difficult to work with if you have much digging to do. Some of the 8N (or 9N or 2N) loader setups had a hydraulic pump that ran off from the front of the engine. This allows for 2-way hydraulics (power up and power down) instead of the usual power up, gravity down setups that are common on the older Fords, Farmalls, etc. However, the 8N is a bit small to be used for much heavy loader work, and lacks a sufficently rugged front end and power steering, both of which will make it not the best choice for a loader tractor.
