just a thought but i think a pin in top would keep the end from dropping as the top pin would make the bottom tube bow in to the main frame while the pin in bottom will let the top bow out under load ( i just welded the hitch on a big wheel rake that had 8 grade 8 bolts in it and only the bottom 2 were holding and sprung 2 1\2 in plates (never got them back completely)) other than that like the build!!!!!! :)
We just got done using these to collect all of our hay from first cut a couple weeks ago, loaded and unloaded around 220 bales with no issues at all. Youll see the video next week on here. I'll be honest too, I didn't even put the pin in on either side because I forgot to pick some up😂 the ends still never came out and didn't bow at all. They are made from 3x3 tuning with 1/4" wall and are very stout but I believe you are correct and a top pin would be more practical due to how weight would pull it down. Thanks for commenting and hope you stick around to see the video of it in action!

That is a neighbors that needs a head gasket or engine swap done to it. We haven't gotten around to it yet. Soon hopefully we will. I dont really have a use for a loader honestly so likely won't be buying one anytime soon.
Very nice! We found one for $100 for the skid steer, I couldn't build it that cheap so I jumped on that deal. But we use the tractor to move and stack bales too so needed one for it
I have an Allis Chalmers 8030 two-wheel drive with duals, Allis Chalmers 8010 mfwd I think they are both a 1:10 scale. They are bigger ones. I used to have several others as a kid but they were John Deere and I played with them as a kid but as I grew up I just wanted Allis equipment. I also have a couple 1:64 scale Allis Chalmers WD, WD 45, D17, and a 190xt. Do you collect them?
