The BH uses the tractor hydralics, and the loader frame does tie in to the rear end. That actually made me feel better about the 3 pt BH. I have access to a mahine shop, so I may try to fab a subframe at a later time. That is the MT250D under the carport. It's been a great tractor, but being a 1987 it was time to upgrade. Heck, when I drove the Kubota the first time, I said I'd have paid extra just for the power steering itself !!!! And speaking of where it slept. When I went for the first drive the owner had it out in the yard when I got there. Well, it was hot so my windows were down in my car and just when I started the tractor "test drive" it started a heavy down pour. I ran for my car to put the windows up, and when I shut the car door, he was yelling for me to get the tractor back in his garage! I knew then that it was taken care of. By the way I live about 20 miles north east of Indiana, pa
