[AT] 3 point hitch backhoe attachments?

[Ivan Cousins]

Carl , I built a 3 pt  hoe from plans supplied by CAD Plans ,  used it on a
farmall with a homemade hitch . It would routinely snap off 5/8 "   gr 5
bolts  just by picking it up .   I ended up building a rigid frame . End of
problem .      The hoe weighs  750 #  .
I would think the hitch itself is the weak link .  I do know of one Kubota
owner that had his tractor fold , but I've used two Kubota  rental units in
the past and I thought they were pretty tough  .They were both rigid mount .
