Rotary Cutter bush hog 2400 qt loader on Ford 860

[tbutcher]

I have a Ford 860 that I just completely overhauled. I have found a bush hog 2400 qt loader that is presently on a Ford 3000 series tractor. Anyone know if it will fit on the Ford 860 without major modification? Also, does the Ford 3000 have live hydraulics? If so, that would probably mean too much mod to add a hydraulic pump.

Thanks

Both the 3000 and your 860 have live hydraulics. Your tractor has about two thirds the flow and roughly the same relief pressure as the 3000. The loader won't be a direct bolt up to your tractor, but may fit without too much work.
