Been past there many times. Wife went to school in FW and we travel through Warsaw once or twice a year. Place is really getting built up in the last 10 years.

Agvg that 2320 is exactly what I was thinking about. Small compact and out of the way when not in use. I really like that setup.

Back when I worked lawn care many moons ago we had two types of mowers. Zero turns and front mount mowers. I always preferred the front mount because it could get the deck so much farther under the pine trees than z-turn could. On some estates it really cut down on weed wacking.

I'm sure a front 3 point would make steering light and unresponsive with some implements such as a plow but I wouldn't think it would be anything more than what we all experience already with using front loaders.

Would putting one on a tractor void any warranty on the tractor if it had one?

A std 3pt and PTO is a nice solution, I believe most of these front PTO are 1000rpm.

I know Mk Martin makes a front 3pt with a either clockwise or counterclockwise gear reduction kit to make the Mid-PTO reduce down to 540. They only make this for a few models unfortunately.

Even if I couldn't get front PTO setup with a 540 reduction, I could still see some uses for a front 3pt. Anybody how has ever tried to run a cultivator off a 3 point knows that this task is a P.I.T.A to try and keep the tractor straight and the cultivators out of the rows.

The 3 point looks like something like that might be easy enough to fabricate if one had a plasma cutter and good welder. As for the gear reduction PTO that might be a different story.

Those Vertrac tractors were similar to the old Toro Pro lawn tractor I used to work with. everything was front mounted and belt driven. I was always fabricating attachments out of the junk pile to make my job a little easier.

I just not seeing horses pushing wagons and carriages around town, yet. Probably because pushing a rope and a chain makes less sense than pulling it. I'm only seeing mowers, brooms and plows in front locations. Only because users want to avoid trampling the material.

actually, that is exactly what the animals are doing - they are pushing ;)

You can buy a three point hitch kit from Pronovost with a power take off
(using a reversing gearbox)as long as your mule has a mid PTO to hook it to
and hydraulic hoses for a front loader for compact and sub compact tractors
.

The Landini Mistrals, Deutz Fahrs, Antonio Carraro and others could be had with front PTO and 3 pt hitch in their ~ 50 hp range.
