New guy posting here.
I have a gas 1968 MF 150 that currently has a Freeman fixed bucket loader on it. It is run off of a valve that sits on the top of the transmission. I want to replace this set-up with an actual front end loader. Locally someone has a loader that came off of a 165 MF and (claims to have) all parts necessary to attach to the tractor are included. The seller told me that the loader works off of the internal tractor hydraulics. Does anyone have a setup similar to this? Does it work well enough to move round bales of hay?
