Loader TC 18 Loader Questions

[BlueTrack]

I purchased a 2000 New Holland TC 18 a couple of months ago and I have some questions about adding a front end loader. this tractor is 2WD and I have s couple of attachments that seem to work fine but I have determined I need a loader to move dirt around in my yard.
1. Can someone tell me the output pressure / volume (GPM) of my hydraulic fluid pump.
2. Any suggestions as to what brand or company to contact about sales. I want to install it myself without any welding (i can weld but i don't have a welding machine.
3. There are several companies that offer a kit but I am not sure I will receive all the hoses and mounting brackets I need. I am mechanically inclined and have done
work on other tractors that I have owned in the past.

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated... Thanks

According to my operators manual and the info at TractorData.com New Holland TC18 tractor information, the hydraulic output of the pump is 4.0 GPM. The system relief valve setting is 1849 PSI. I bought mine new with the New Holland 7106 loader. Can't help much with ideas on a loader other than that.

There are several aftermarket companies like:
Quicke
Westendorf
Woods
Koyker

But with a 2wd, 18HP, 14YO machine you really must decide if its worth putting $3,500 into. If you do decide to take the leap, don't forget the importance of REAR ballast on the 3PH for traction and stablitity.
