Someone familiar with tractor 3 point "in general?"

Ok that’s funny. I am the same way. My fabrication background comes from building off road race trucks. At SEMA last year there were more trucks than anything else outside. I couldn’t help but pick out every dangerous single shear mount for steering and suspension.

It's spooky what some people think is good enough.

My Ford 3000 came with a loader attached, but the front end is super skimpy. I've broken 3 spindles already. One because I didn't appreciate just how skimpy it was and was trying to back up with the wheel turned hard over while lifting a 2500lbs log. The other two were just from the front end being loaded a little goofy while maneuvering with a modest load in the bucket. Wish I could find a tractor junkyard to rob a 3400 front end from!
