That's about what I had in mind, too, alpine. I have the 2x4 tubing, but need to check the capacity of the trailer jacks I already have. Yours is overkill, I'd think, mine may be underkill.To support the front loader when removed from the SEE, I ordered this jack, welded a 4" long 2"x4" tubing on the bottom of the outer, black tube and replaced the inner 2" square tube with a longer section so that the whole jack is 60" in the contracted position (~40" from bottom plate to top of welded rectangular tube). The rectangular tube engages in the pocket of the front loader, secured by a cross-pin. (I marked the needed hole in place and drilled after welding since my machine vise would not clamp 4" anyway)
And of all things, this SEE came with the official pin for the loader support in place. Of course, other than the ripper, that was the only thing it came with.
