Hard to align front hitch blade to load attachment when very hard to see it.

[dsttexas]

Any suggestions or videos on hitching front attachments? Worst design I've ever seen. Can't see them. I use pallets to raise the implement higher so connection point visable. Any other ideas?

Skidsteer style?

Sounds like your talking the old style frame mount shoe coupler.

I have to lean out to the left to get lined up (sight over the left front tire) and then push a little on what I am connecting. Long hood makes it tough to see the attachment point and seat safety makes it impossible to raise up to see over the hood.

paint some 'alignment' marks on the blade as guides ??

and seat safety makes it impossible to raise up to see over the hood.

Maybe my seat safety switch is forgiving, but I can stand up and get a good view. If I creep forward in slow increments it won't shut itself off. Of course if I push the HST pedal more than just enough to creep, it shuts down. If my switch is faulty, I like it that way. If it's not faulty, stand up and give it a try.

Here's what I did to help me get on target with SSQA attachments. I put some arrow tape on the attachment that aligns with the inside edge of the tractor SSQA frame. I simply sight down the side of the tractor and line the frame up with the edge of the tape and vióla...everything works!
