    Found this while looking at a Pug.....The pug has hydraulic steering, so why wouldn't this work to run a cylinder to have power steering on a tractor? Yes, HOYE TRACTOR has a add-on unit, well when they can get them. No, I have not priced PUGS parts yet. Was wondering what you Tractor Guru's...
