It looks like a lot of work merely to load that plough. By employing biplane technology of struts and stringers it could be simplified down to a wire rope from the top-link over a headstock strut, then to the rear body.

Still got to hitch it to the plough or did you forget that bit?

Your two emojis are 'face with hand over mouth' which a wise monkey would see as 'speak no evil'! I was just saying that for loading that trailer plough, a wire rope would be simpler, as used by Votex toppers.

I was curious to know. When the plough is hitched up to the 35 and driving up the ramps does the tractor climb the ramps okay or is it a bit eerie? It is quite an overhang on the back for a 35. It is lifting an implement similar to the length of itself?

Back up. Cutaway headboard that the back body sits on.
