That flooring job is impressive.

Thanks. We do ok.

I'm planning on building one of these for my tractor, if I have the necessary skills.

I tried to use the big bar that goes between the lift arms, but it didn't work to well. When you start to pull the wagon, the bar tends to roll backwards and sometimes you lose the wagon. And I even made a brace to run from the lift arm to the bar so it wouldn't roll backwards. The results were not what I hoped for.

If I can build it, of course I'll post a picture or two.

Looks like it should work. What da heck?

My quick disconnect forks came with a hitch attachment that works well.

Have you got pictures of it?

I hope I get to test your "looks like it should work." theory.

If this works and I post pictures, I may post a picture of the device I made to keep the pull bar from rotating when I'm pulling a wagon with it.

Do you have a welder?

As long as you have the 3 points of contact, you should be good.

Here is that picture.

I like that. But I don't have a front end loader on either of my tractors.

I've seen hitch attachments welded to the top of the bucket. Not ideal, but they work with a little reinforcement along the top of the bucket. My shops (in my past life) manufactured the 3 point hitches and they performed as well as the store bought ones.

I've got one of those old Lincoln "tombstone" welders, mounted on an old pressure washing frame. And a set of old torches, not to mention a new tank of oxygen. And if these things fail, I've got a Dewalt 4 1/2" grinder. Good for evening out my welding messes. But the neatest thing I've acquired so far is one of those Milwaukee SAWs. At least that's what they used to be called. Cuts Steel, Aluminum and Wood. And nails. I can saw better with it than I can cut with a torch.

Stupid me totally overlooked the "no frontend loader" part. Duh

Lincoln 'Stick' welders rock!

It often is an adventure when I am backing up a wagon because my mind wants to cut the wheels one way and the wagon needs them cut the other way. But if the tractor was going forward backing up the wagon, I suppose the only thing to do is to cut it both ways and go straight.

I've not welded much and it shows. But it didn't take me long to learn not to grab ahold of a welding rod that didn't look all that hot at the time.

Dude! I couldn't back a hay wagon if my life depended on it. @Behr can.

But can Bher handle backing up a firewood wagon?
