:confusion-shrug:       To me the struts going down to front of the frame look much too small for the job. When you have a load in the bucket and are driving along with the load bouncing up and down the forces exerted on the upright supports will probably be too much for them.The front subframe and struts on mine are very heavy and the bucket bouncing will still cause the front subframe to move while driving on rough ground with a load.   :twocents-02cents:

I dont doubt that, but still heavier steel than those factory Ark or other stock loaders garden tractors used. The loader is built with better quality steel and really too heavy for the tractor in my opinion. It had 400 lbs counter weight off the rear when I got it, plus the wheel weights are 100 lbs each and then with 200 lb guy in the seat totaling 800 lbs the loader will still out lift it.

You do have a beefy support on yours, thats nice.
