Looks great so far, and I like that you wire brush all of your steel too!

I agree with Joe about adding the gussets to strengthen the whole assembly. The tubing may be heavy wall, and you may have good welds; but those are still hinge points that will be the first place the implement will want to fail.

Keep us posted with pictures.
