Next issue.... I don't see any room left to mount the 3rd link for the 3pt.....
Issue 3: The reason that 3ph arms have a ball socket on them is because they need to flex. Without them, the hitch will break. The rear implement needs to be able to move independent of the tractor. Too rigid is bad.... I have seen one built as you did before. It lasted a while before it broke.
Issue 4: As long as the arms are, you won't be able to pick up very much. No need for them to be that long.
Issue 5: The plate the pump is mounted to is too thin. It will crack from vibration, and it won't be long.
I'm sorry to be this way, but your design needs a lot of rethinking......

But as a 'proof of concept' project, I'd say, it's a good start. A lot of stuff in a compact unit, that has the benefit of adding weight to the drive axles. Some refinement can be done, but keep at it!
