801s are fine tractors for front loaders for light-ish duty work.

The hardest thing about putting a loader on the 851 you are looking at is likely to be finding a decent loader for it. (No special front mount will be needed - the loader will bolt to the front axle support of the tractor; pump will run off a shaft to the front motor pulley.)

Also, power steering is important for a loader tractor, and if the tractor does not already have it, a good used power steering package will be hard to find. New I believe is around $1200.

For these reasons, I would keep looking for a tractor that already has a loader.
