you're absolutely right, pembswood - lift it into place and then connect up. But that makes me think ..... I've got an old right angle drive here from a shape saw attachment for an obsolete hedgetrimmer - I could weld on some Cat I pins and give the whole machine a 90 degree twist .....

Sounds good, you could probably make it so that you could use it either way round. As long as you don't mind scratching that lovely new paint work!

 

I havn't seen one of these used, do they vibrate much? Or could you get away without three point linkage all together and just connect the PTO when it's needed? Save knocking holes in your nice new machine.

 

Or bolt the machine down to a steel frame or pallet with the cat I pins and even an A frame should you so wish.

 

The gearbox sounds good if it already has splined shaft fittings. I've used the gearbox from flat belt pulleys in the past. Toppers have good ones as well.

 

I hope this helps, I don't want to talk you into doing more work than you need to!
