Fix the forks first then if you need something on the front take a look at what Grampie makes, think also has them so you can hang suitcase weights on them

This is what CADplans did for his weight bar.

The reason it does not look like it lifted the skid very high in the picture is because the front wheels are dangling a foot in the air. I need to get some weight for the front.
Moving past the problems with the length (which really doesn't seem that excessive), the square tube construction of your setup is far more rigid than angle of even 3 times the thickness.

I dramatically prefer the design of what you have vs. angle. Just sort out a way to shorten up the linkage, and it should be great! The easier way to go would be to add some suitcase weights to the front end, like you suggested. Filled front tires might even get it done.

Thanks for the help guy's, the forks are a Swisher product for a four wheeler and my first thought was to modify it for my loader to move pallets and this was just a after thought. I had the loader on the tractor at the time and never had a front traction issue but I don't always have the loader on. These worked out for quick attach on the 3 point and carrying small stuff around. That's the reason why I thought a front quick attach weight idea would be cool.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
