It is 'slick', IF it is iMatch (quick hitch) compatible.

It would be good for a light and small tractor with meager lifting ability. Even my little 30 HP tractor's manual specifies 700 lbs of ballast for FEL work for less than 1000 lbs of lift. It sure looks clean. The guy looks to be trying to get into business.

Funny. I saw that online this morning. Then coming back from town I saw an identical one sitting outside a shop. Someone must be selling them in the NW.

My dealer has been selling an almost identical shaped version of the same thing minus the trailer hitch for well over 20 years. I have a 1000 lb version I use on the 2120 and TN.

Why not, crete is cheaper than steel and the mold would be easy enough to make from plywood & 2X4s. If someone really wanted to get tricky they could cast steel caster wheels in the base to help moving when disconnected in the barn.
