These are all good suggestions and food for thought as I plan.
I don't think this loader is that much larger than a 70A but no way to weigh and compare. Most of the metal in this loader looks to be about 10 gauge with a few 1/4" thick gussets. The 8N it came off of had a Otis elevator gear case hanging off the back of it. I might make it more adaptable to the 3pt hitch but not sure the 855 will pick it up.
The A-frame is a good idea and I was thinking I would need something like that to hoist this off and on. I don't think I want to leave it on the tractor unless I am using it. The loader was attached to the 8N with 8 bolts and I was planning a similar attachment to the 855.
Please keep the ideas coming.
