Thanks for the pics. That is an unusual set up, cool!

Nice fab job Island. Do the lower pins slide along the tubing? Slick setup. It must weigh a ton with that 1" plate (it looks like). Very beefy. What else do you run on front with it?

I wish my fabrication skills were that good. Actually I got it from my dealer (Wallace Tractor). Yes the lower pins slide along the tubing. It doesn't weigh "a ton" but I would guess it does weigh between 100-150lbs or so. The weight is not really an issue as you are not going to use it with a bucket or any other implement to lift things so you just need to be able to lift the attached implement.

I haven't put anything else on it yet. I don't see it as appropriate for a box blade as the strain on the FEL would be too great. It would work very well I think with a back blade however especially in snow plow mode. It would also work with a hydraulic auger/post hole digger.

The weight isn't as much as I guesstimated. That's not bad at all.
