Anything with a pto and a drawbar is not feasible. Three point hitch drawbars are wobbling widow makers allowing towed loads such as wagons sway. These draft transfer hitches have also assisted equipment operators to kill themselves with flip overs. Extra cost. Time and labour to remove and re-install. Any one of those reasons are enough for manufacturers to scrap the weight transfer hitch.M4WD works much better.

I was aware of some of the obvious "do not" actions for such a contraption. Aware of semi mount plows and pto--since pto is 90% rolling load and needs perfect geometry. Some other things you mentioned, I was wondering about, and a couple I forgot to consider (hassle to R&R and cost). Appreciate the comments.
