Help me pick a tractor.

[chrpmaster]

I have been wanting to build a loader for a garden tractor but can't decide what tractor to use. I am looking for suggestions. Obviously I need one with a strong frame and bullet proof transmission. I would prefer one that had hydrostatic with foot control if possible so I could steer with one hand and control loader with the other. Cheap to obtain and good parts availability is important too.

I had thought of one of the tube frame Bolens or maybe Wheel Horse or Cub Cadet. I like the Deere's (like the 318) but most of those seem to have really expensive paint or something.

Your ideas would be welcomed.

ward will be best for this it have thick frame and I do have one it was so hard to twist frame if I try. It have box frame shape like S but front axle is so thick and big than john deer garden tractor I have see it.


Or case Ingersoll would be good since they have hydraulic pump and can power loader too.
