No power steering throws a wrench into the spokes for me. I've used them and it takes me about 2 minutes to get sick of it and want something else. The feedback you get from the manual steering can break bones if the yard is rough. With a loader on it, it's almost impossible to steer unless...

If you've done a bunch of them and have a good hard work area and a way to lift the tractor, yes, 20 minutes. Having a loader makes it a little easier. A TLB is really easy. Lift the front with the loader bucket, the rear with the outriggers. For everyone else, an hour. Assuming the fuel...
