Wow. That is quite a piece. I figured you would mount the pole saw vertical; if that were mine, I would snap it on a trail-side tree right quick.

Congrats on a bad ass fabrication job. Thanks for sharing!

I got mine from the local batch plant. $35. After this pic was taken, I cut off the excess forks and welded in a piece of channel with a receiver welded to it. I got the 3 point forklift off C/L for $50.View attachment 733085

I like the actual metal framed canopy you have there (y)

Looking slick, inpo.

I'm very curious to see how you will mount the vise and tire changer, and tool carrying setup.

The vise mounts on the vertical tube of the 3pt using a receiver fixture that replaces the cap. The HF tire changer has a section of 2” tubing welded to it and gets plugged in the receiver hitch on the backside of the ballast. It’s held tight by the pinch bolt on the receiver.

That’s a nice build. I also have made use the 2” square receiver system to make custom equipment for tractor, farm and shop. Like you made the counter weight carry useful tools. For my use I need to carry tools with different attachments on the 3pt hitch. Always good to see new ideas and applications.
