Looks pretty light-duty to me. Hit one frozen clod and drive that contraption right through the radiator.

I think the same thing . There’s a whole post on here about it ; I did a little searching and you can buy the hitch for only 1800.00$

I can only see one bolt on the side we can see that actually holds the whole thing on so I guess two but they like only about a 3/8 bolt . Then the sway chains hooked to the sway bar I don’t think will end well

SV, I am not condoning his lack of ...mechanical cause and effect.. but the tube that the receiver is mounted to does have four bolts holding it to the frame. The back two are under the sway bar bushing brackets. See my reply to UDs earlier post in link.

Sorry, that is one of the most crazy things I have seen.
My 8N with a back blade would bury that thing.

don't think i'd put it on the front of my Jeep or any other truck. at least not without a robust front hitch set up.

BUT.

it could be a handy deal to move 3pt equipment around with the hitch on the back of your truck (hitch).

For some reason I don't think it was designed to push with.

And the best of all it is American made. Texas in fact.

That figures. What other state could come up with a contraption like that?

Yep. Probably sells like hotcakes down at El Paso.

Pretty pricey way to turn your truck into a clumsy tractor with horrible implement visibility for hooking up and use. Why not just buy a $1700 8N instead and have a maneuverable nimble machine with great visibility. Another product in search of a market for which there is no need.

The limited warrantee is likely to include being able to hold its self up without bending itself. there is nothing inherently wrong with a front 3pt. europeans use them all the time plowing and bale moving. they are not, however, attached to a receiver socket. Jim

I think that may be the result of smoking a little too much pot.

Something similar to that would be handy to move those discbines that hook to the 3pt hitch. This thing is way too light, though.

I’ve thought a few times about making a 3 point hitch for the
back of the truck I think it would be handy at times

Naw, a pot smoker would have thought that out a whole lot better.

Actually a heavy built three point hitch on the rear of a truck would have a good market for moving semi mounted implements around without needing a tractor. I only paid 2000.00$ for my 3020 diesel powershift.
