"Front" 3pt Mount....

[Wyobuckaroo]

So...... I built this multi use 5' tool bar for the 3pt..... And it has worked well.
So, I'm in the process of building a set of de thatching type arms to mount on the tool bar. Easy enough to do....

Then got to thinking..... How can I make this attach to the front of the tractor and de thatch before I mow.

I'm currently thinking bracket to mount to the weight bar bracket, with gussets to the loader foot brackets, and use the snow blower lifting cylinder to operate it with.
So my question is, has anyone seen any threads or similar builds ??

Thoughts, good ideas, pictures, links, useful ideas ??

Get ready, set, invent.......

I don't know if this will help but here's a 3 pt front mount I built for my Massey Ferguson 399.
I had the advantage of a very heavy duty bumper and belly pan to work with but am sure you could fabricate something similar on yours. The photo quality is terrible but I think you can see enough to get the idea.
Lower mounts were just bolted to the belly pan and 3" pipe extensions to reach out to the blower. The upper mount bolted to the bumper itself with link to blower. As you can see it is just a snowplow elec/hyd lift, with a chain to the top link. Later another link replaced the chain.
Really not much to it and it works well.
I also use it for dozing with a heavy duty blade, to which I add angled wings to clear snow about 12' at a pass.
