What you need to look at is the weight. The L4400 is only rated to carry about 880 pounds on the 3pt hitch. I know that people have put more back there without any problems but I wouldn't exceed a 1000 pounds.
I could not get the specs to come up on that cutter but it looks pretty beefy. Why do you need that much cutter? What is the weight on that model? How big a tree is it rated to cut? |
Are you sure you are correct about the 3 pt hitch capacity only being aorund 800 pounds for the L4400. The lititure shows to have 2870 lbs at lift point and 2310 lbs 24 inches behind LP. The cutter weight is right at 1095 lbs and is rated to cut 3 inch diameter.
