Anyone Pushed a Sumo Trio?

Just wondering hypothetically, has anyone ever front mounted a Sumo Trio and pushed it?
I’m not considering it or anything just wondering, if it’s been done, you’d obviously have to make use of the rear links too.

Lol! Think I’ve got cab fever haha!
 
Front mounted cultivators are about, I've seen them on the continent a bit but usually very light affairs with not much soil being moved. I've never seen one at does even half what a Sumo could.

Front mounted ploughs to me look like a PITA and likely to give a tractor or front links a lot of stick. Sumo I presume would be the same. Better to pull the lot behind surely.

Most I've seen was a Case Magnum 7250 with a dowdswell front mounted 4m power harrow and then a 4m dowdswell combi drill on the back. It was on some horrible heavy soil near to Stratford iirc. That gave the tractor some jip so a trio would finish it off I would think. If it hit a hard bit the tractor could push over the top of it when the top link snaps.
 
Hehe!! Cheers folks! Enjoyed reading your comments. My conclusion, I think it would be a tractor killer for sure wouldn’t it!
Even if you could get the grip and lift. ?
