Someone familiar with tractor 3 point "in general?"

I completely agree with your li e of thinking here. And I’ll add one thing, when I design something, (although it’s impossible in some circumstances), I try to eliminate any possibility of the connection failing in shear. At the very least mount in double shear.

I was at an event over the weekend that required attendees to use very low folding chairs. Mine failed and is now permanently reclined because they used aluminum rivets in single shear.
I cannot understate my hatred of single-shear connections, LOL.
