What tractor to put loader on

[myron in ct 2]

You guys have been great helping me . Thank you .

I have a 40 inch WH loader should I put it on my 1989 20 HP (C1-20 ) hydro or on 1973 14HP 1-0340 8 speed ?

This is just to play in my yard .

I just got a package deal....FEL and a D-200.

I will (someday) get this all fixed and put together and the D is an automatic transmission.

I am fixing a GT-14 up for my snow plowing machine, and it too is an automatic.

I guess I am saying the automatics would be best for FEL's and snow plowing, as you can change your ground speed without having to stop, clutch, shift and operate the plow/FEL controls at the same time.

I would go with the C-120 hydro.

The bigger the better and hydro over 8-speed.

Put a 300 lb guy on the front of the tractor and see which one is easier to steer.

Mine is on a C160-8 , I have 418-A I am fixing the transmission on and will try that this winter for snow. I think a hydro foot pedal would help some too.
