Does anyone have a JD 870/970 or 1070 with a Koyker 155 loader installed AND the standard JD SCV installed with the hydraulic connections coming out on the left side of the tractor underneath the clutch pedal? I'm just concerned about clearance of the RH loader mounting bracket that attaches to the tractor body at that location. The hydraulic connections from the SCV come out very close to the mounting bracket. Anyone have any problems with this?

I have the choice between a 4' or 5' bucket for the loader going on my JD870 (25-30HP class). I will be using the loader for work on a small horse farm ( manure piles, road maintenance, etc) While the larger bucket would seem to make the job go faster, what are the pros and cons on the different bucket size and what should drive the decision? Thanks.

I'm looking to add a front loader to my JD 870. I have 2 questions on this: 1) I'm looking at Koyker loaders (Model #155), how do they compare to Bush Hog and Allied in terms of quality/durability? 2) My 870 does not have the hydraulic connections currently installed to hook up to the loader. In the manual, it describes an optional Selective Control Valve which appears to be used for loader or backhoe applications. Can someone give me an idea what it will take to install the proper hydraulics to support the loader and where are the connections made? Thanks.
