    bx 3pt hitch

    If the previous posters 670 lb. rating is correct it would not be possible .This rating would be at the hitch approximatly 2 ft from the pivots, if your boom is out 8 ft from the pivots you would be lucky to be able to apply 175 lbs.,of lift at the boom end. I would expect rollers or skids...
