running high gpm attachments out front?

The 3pt is 5K and the PTO system is over 5K. Then you gotta remove front axle, cut frame and remove front of engine clip on tractor to install it. :laughing:

Still a lot cheaper than buying a used skid steer.

Yeah, the old ford's like the 5000 was built for things like that. It already had the mounting holes for the shaft and the pulley on the crankshaft was even made to have things bolted right to it so it didn't even need replacing. I guess that's why you see so many of them that have boom mowers with them front mounted hydraulic pumps.
