For most of what we use our loader for the O would do the job and I would not be afraid of it but The wife likes the Hydro and PS. They are like any thing else, use with common sense and do not overload and it will get the job done abuse it and it will break.

To the OP, Hope we have not offended you by getting into a loader on a Cub Cadet discussion, Good luck with finding one or if so inclined get a set of plans and build it. After you have one you will wonder how you ever got along with out it. Good luck

The OCC on the pic belongs to a member here by the name of Keith LeJeune.
The Danco on OCC's only have lift pressure and no down pressure. The are a trip bucket only. Probably why the OCC's have survived as well as they did. They are OK, but a more modern loader will be much handier.
