    Good tractor. Easy to operate and fairly comfortable if it has front suspension. Had 1 hired out last summer. Unlocking the lift arms can be tricky. 30 plus doesn't sound too bad if theres no tyres coming with it

    Wouldn't even contemplate buying the above with a loader, simply buy a mint one and stick on a loader......
    Any tractor doing alot of heavy loader works front axle is going to be shot to bits, spent the guts of 3 grand on the axle of a ts here simply due to wear and tear from loader work....
    Theirs a chap down in monastrevin that has any loader/brackets you could dream off to fit the above tractors and would be reasonable enough and does all fitting/wiring to boot
