I haven't seen it, but will keep a vigilant eye out. Any of our customers interested in heavy lifting were encouraged to look at the T353 or the T433/503 for longevity. Mid-compact tractors often leave a lot to be desired when it comes to anything other than occasional loader work. However, a careful operator can get a lot out of mid and SCUTs.

The 2x2 makes a 90 and is welded between the four bolts that hold the ROPS bar to the bottom the axel. Same on both sides of the tractor. Also not pictured is 1/2" thick steel between both sides connecting them together. Still have room to get to the hydro filter.

Could you post some pics of the other end? How has your fix been holding up? I am thinking of a preemptive strike to avoid the original failure.

Anyone have these issues on later models? T233 or T234 ?
