Could be the fish eye making things look funny but the steering wheel, ROPS and the seat are a little "off", too...

"... this platform boasts a weight capacity of 3,000 LB ..." That a lot more than his tractor can handle... For less money, this one seems more usable, with sides and dump feature. Most likely could only carry 600 pounds...

I take it that you are looking for a 5 footer... Not sure where (region) you are in NC... This is a 6 footer for $300... https://raleigh.craigslist.org/grd/d/buies-creek-box-blade-ft/7883431911.html Agri-Supply has replacement rippers for about $42...

It's been a long time since I was looking for implements, they seem to have dried up. But I did get a 6 footer, box blade (no name that I could find). It's been really good and helped build a road to my creek. Got it for $250 and I'm sure I could sell it for more, now... You have to be...

To the OP, for the price of the Titan Carry All, you could buy a good welder and learn to build one. Teach a man to weld, he'll build all kinds of implements. In my case, I bought majority of my implements used, I learned to weld since almost all of them needed to be repaired with welding.

I use a set of homemade forks (fixed width) to pickup 55 gal. drum of weights. Or an empty wooden box to carry tools. Loading and unloading bags of sand sounds like more work than I would want to do!

By all means, try it at rated PTO speed. Your tractor is rated at just shy of 2000 pounds at the pins and 1450 24 inches back from there. You can test your system's pressure, it should be 2347 psi. Usually it set on the low side from dealers (protects the tractor somewhat). I raised mine up...

Can you post exactly which brand of "Universal oil", or photo of the product? Link to what you used?

Pat's quick connect and adjustable stabilizers... while not perfect, it's pretty close.

That's what my FEL bucket is for!!! Put my tools in there!!

That's my concern, I think I would knock a hole in my head if I mounted one just over the PTO shaft...

I would not waste any new hydraulic fluid on her until I take a good look at the clutch....
