[QUOTE="CUT_TLB, post: 9354, member: 1198"] Thanks for the very informative replies, Ken and Tazza. I had not really considered using a SS-to-3pt adapter. It seems to me that that approach would put the hoe farther out front of the machine. Using hoes on the 3pt hitch on tractors is a dicey approach, so I have always favored rigidly-mounted subframes. Using hoes on the 3pt hitch is very hard on the tractor and it results in mounting it considerably farther out back than with good subframes. Anyway, tell me more about the "top hooks" and other strengthening methods used to support the hoe on the loader. Can you post pix? As for lifting capacities, I went to the Bobcat site and chose common SSs that could lift at least 1300#. All modern SSs seem to have plenty of hyd flow. I see tipping as a potential issue, however. SSs around here (NorCal) are very common and usually owned by contractors it seems. [/QUOTE]
