I have a couple that I have made for pulling logs and trees. Never had an issue with lifting the front end of my L35 but the one I have on my BIL's Kubota can lift the front end if you have a brain fart.
Orange one is built from an old 3 pth ditching bucket or stone boat or whatever you want to call it. I just took off the bucket and welded a bunch of hooks onto it. I welded a receiver on it too. It's on my BIL's little Kubota. I think I paid $10 for the bucket, my BIL painted it.
The black one is on my L35 and was a 3 pth 3 prong hale for fork before I reworked it. I welded on a couple of receivers so I could pull my wagon or whatever. I also added a top receiver to get some leverage, I have a bunch of different length 2" tubes for the top hitch, one is 36" long and will lift pretty good to keep the log out of the dirt. . Right now my weight box is on the top hitch. I just lower it, back into the slot and pick up the box, it bounces around and sways back and forth but at least I don't have to get off the tractor to hook up to it. I just wrap a couple of chains around the top hitch. I have a bunch of hooks welded on it in several places. I've pulled a couple of hooks right off it when I've been playing with big wood. Paid around $75 for the bale spear to start with.
