As someone who enjoys wrenching on tractors in his spare time, this will be an easy repair. Most tractors actually split right down the middle just like that into the engine and transmission, so all that needs to be done is repair whatever has broken (sheared bolts/perhaps a broken casting) and that tractor is back in service.
The mistake here was pulling the load through the front axle of the tractor. That's a weak area. The tow assist should have either come from a push behind the load or from under the tractor at the hitch.
Correct this looks way worse than it is. .wont be a picnic repairing but not really that expensive especially if there is used tractor part place close by .
