Thanks for all your chatter!

So the idea is just to keep it even then. Makes sense. Thanks

Someone help me out here. All the photos are just showing an X in a box. Is there a setting somewhere that I have clicked on inadvertently.

OK, so I thought he said, 16000 and 40000... perhaps I was smoking crack. He said that he thinks they are 11000 and 20000. No matter, they aught to be strong enough either way. Here they are:

Didn't even take the manual off of the ROPS first.....

This thing does a jam up job clearing my brush. I need to work on my loader skills though. I'm a little rough around the edges.

Nice neat job on installing your d-rings, looks good. These look plenty strong
for any compact tractor. I see the advantage of these when using straps as you said you were going to. Even the lower rating is much stronger than
the loader will lift so you are plenty safe.
A loader on a tractor is the handiest thing to have, so many jobs it enables you to do yourself. As you use the loader you will be smooth in no time. And again I hope it serves you well.

Maybe it is a setting, but normally if you do select NOT to load images, you can override the setting by clicking somewhere in the X. Your employer might be blocking the images, but that seems unlikely. It may be because the OP posted links to his photos from a hosting site. Can you see this one I did as an attachment to this post:

I have two hooks outboard of the loader arms and one at the center.
As long as one uses the two outboard hooks simultaneously (spread the load), there shouldn't be any problem with tweaking the loader frame.
The center hook is only used for light loads (pulling smaller trees and such).

True, if you distribute the load it really shouldn't matter where you put them. I added 2.5" x 2.5" (maybe 2.25") angle iron to mine to reinforce the top and to support the weld-on grab hooks and the 2" receiver:

I like a big slide hook in the center and a grab hook on each corner. I lay the chain in the slide hook and grab it at the corner. Quick and easy.

LBT, I wish I'd seen your center setup before I did mine. I have my receiver tube above the slide hook. That setup of yours is way skookum!

Yeah, I got the receiver idea from another post on TBN. I also got both of these items from Harbor Freight:



Real easy to swap out to whatever you need at the time. Used the vise mount a lot when building the hoses for the diverter install.

That would be great for filing the chainsaw at the scene of the crime.
