Hi Royal,

I have an 861 with a Ford 720 loader. I got it used and it came with a front-mount hydraulic pump. The setup was fairly easy. A minor bit of torching was needed to accommodate the insertion of the pump shaft through the front axle centerpin hole. You can also mount a PTO pump on this tractor as it has the live PTO, so you can have the main clutch disengaged and still use the hydraulics. As for the reservoir, the 720 and 730 loaders use the tube frame for the reservoir.

I would reccommend the Ford loaders. They are plenty robust and fairly easy to mount and remove. They are also the step-through type which is far more convenient. You can find them used for anywhere between $500 and $2000 depending on condition and luck. Check you local ag. want ads, on e-bay and in the classifieds to the left of this page.
