== A thought..... At one time I was kinda, sorta engineering in my head an 1100rpm capable pump to mount on the belly of my compact tractor to run off the mid mount pto shaft there.. Leaving my rear 540rpm pto open for other uses... Never got it fabricated, so don't know if I would have had...

Here is one ..old school.. source of pto (540rpm) pumps.. This source from back in the day when people were fabricating there own wood splitters and such.. It sounds like you are wanting to run a pto shaft through the pump to run something else ...behind... the pump ?? BE SURE to post...

My thought would be to build a 3pt tool frame that the rollers could be bolted to and different styles chisels, spikes or such could be added as desired.. Much like the combo in WilliBills photo... All on the most ...cheap... possible.. My 5 cents of opinion..

Trivia... At a time I maintained a kilometer of gravel driveway with a cheap auto-farm store, China made 5' box blade and an equally cheap, well work used to be 6' rear 3pt blade.. At best on the ground where this was a driveway was hard to keep in good condition.. I would have had to spend...

The 5' box blade I had was a cheap, generic, no name, likely China built model from ..Princes Auto.. store Canada.. It did'nt matter what color it came as.. I changed the color a couple times, depending on what color paint I had available at the moment.. The color didn't seem to affect...

Nice bobcat mount... This isn't me, I lost the pictures a couple computers ago.. But it is a size comparison of the ....cat.... I had to deal with once around our livestock.. NOT a fun ..incident.. Again... For size comparison...

Ouch... Like suggested replace the angle with a heavier reinforced replacement.. I would also consider gussets from the top corners of the center plate to the ends of the angle.. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

Wild guess..... Some sort of auto leveling linkage for some kind of attachment regardless of the height ?? Possible aftermarket back hoe ?? Sod harvester ?? Any other guesses ??

To add info.... A time or several, I used the ...arch... part of my 3pt post hole digger with a top link and a short chain and hook to lift the end of logs for skidding.. I skidded logs about 30" (75cm) or so diameter at times.. The trail was far from flat, but not rough.. ALWAYS pulling...

Yes... Depending on the log, a 5 gallon bucket, 20-30 gallon plastic barrel will help keep dirt and such off the log as you skid them.. I used to do a lot of skidding by raising the end of the log with a 3pt trailer mover attachment and pulling the log from the braw bar... You never want to...

Trivia.... Years ago I built a ...homemade... 3pt rake, 3 rows of JD bailer pickup teeth, 5' wide, that worked well.. At the time it was a less expensive option then the pine needle and other rakes availible..

For hauling firewood with the FEL I used my 42" pallet forks, a pallet with another pallet as a back stop and a triangle scrap of plywood on eigher side to form a crude box or tote.. Quick, easy, cheap to have plenty around to fill with rounds, and let sit until I could get it to the splitter...

I bought a 5' box blade from the local auto, farm store that was no name, a bit crude, likely China made, but more than adequate for the work I needed to use it for.. A sloppy brush repaint job when needed that was never seen from the highway and it worked well for a long time.. It did...

I contemplated several options for rear ballast and had several drawings of homemade options in my ...good ideas... notebook... Would not spend the money for a store bought and didn't get around to a DIY project.. I usually had the snowblower on the 3 point or used my 5' box blade for...
