Hmmmm,, zero customers have told me of a single issue of twisting etc,,,
it is an emotional thing some people have to get over,,

How can a machine (GT) that only weighs 1,000 pounds twist or bend a piece of steel that is bigger/thicker than the trailer hitch on a truck that can pull/haul 14,000 pounds?

When someone bends a CADLoader, the big three will have to do some speedy redesign on their towing systems,,,

The purpose of the single arm is to keep unneeded weight off the spindles of the garden tractor.

The less the loader weighs, the greater the payload,,,

Now, if you are only taking the machine to tractor shows,, then build a two arm loader.
