Let me think about this.183:1 .   Say conservatively the slant six makes 100 ft.lb.torque. That;s 18,399 ft lb input into the rear uj. Steering him wrong? I think not.

Might want an upgrade on the rear drive shaft too.

Thank you for putting this in perspective!  I had not thought of it in this way.  If I can get some tire traction, it might break something...

Yes  traction will be the thing that ultimately will determine whether the driveline is stout enough.

I would recommend keeping the front tranny in 3rd or 4th unless absolutely necessary.  It is the same concept as the Busa driving into a VW tranny.  If you gear down the front tranny then the second tranny sees very high torque numbers.  However if you keep the front tranny in high then the the second tranny can only see normal torque  loads.

I agree that limited traction will probably prevent most breakage, until he picks up a big round bale.  ;D

I didn't realize it was a half ton drivetrain :P
I'm just going to toss this out there...
If you went to joy stick steering with swiveling seat you could mount a decent loader on the back for haybales and run a belly mower off the crankshaft pulleys that way you wouldn't be quite so long and the belt and big pump problem would be solved ;D
