New jumps, Zing?

Relatively new, I have been gradually building up what I have for a few years. Built the standards and got the poles 4 years ago, and used tehm unpainted for a year to let the PT chemicals dry out some. Primed and painted them 3 years ago, and built some cavalettis that year. Last two years have been building things like boxes, flower jumps, shrub and flower pots, etc so that the horses would not be surprised to see that type of stuff when they get to a show. Kind of defeats the point to just jump poles in practice, and then have the horse refuse at the show because it is not used to all of the extras that they see there. This year I had someone give me his old outdoor carpet when he re-did his pool deck, so I built a couple of roll-top style jumps. The poles take the brunt of the beating though, so most of the stuff still looks pretty new.

- 2011 Massey Ferguson GC2600 DL100
2006 Toyota Tacoma 4.0 V6, 130,000 miles. Plate steel bumpers front and rear, rebuilt factory springs in the rear.
Trailer is a 10 ft Carry-On from tractor supply. It was on sale $300 off, and is enough to tow the GC2600 around for doing gardens and other small jobs or wood pellets. It's a bit short to fit the tractor on with loader AND tiller, but I'm having a co-workers husband extend the tongue 2 ft. He'll remove the coupler and jack, cut a slot down the middle, and weld in a 3"x4"x8' 3/8" thick piece of box tube down the middle. Re-attach the coupler and jack, weld a plate under the trailer to bridge a couple rubs to support the new beam, and then I'll have clearance to turn with the FEL over the front rail of the trailer. As it sits now, doing that would probably cause the tailgate or bumper to hit the bucket going around corners. We was going to charge $250 for the steel and work, but that might come down $100 since he needs me to clean a virus off his computer.
Thinking about putting a tool box across the tongue to hold ratchet straps, wheel blocks, etc and to set the bucket on.
