^ I have a similar plate to that shown above. I have used it to mount my landscape rake on my loader. Really works slick for cleanup after logging.....as you can push the debris into piles. Unlike the rear mount......its easy to clean out the rake with the loader controls and far easier to push the limbs than to pull then. Mine also has a reciever hitch on it.....so I can mount my seeder to the front. One other really good use is to mount a 3 point Boom to place rafters or other material. The list goes on......lol.
