Yes, the 5083 is Category 2, and I had to go on the JD site to make sure. I measured a heavy duty boom pole back during the summer, but I cannot find the measurements. I am going to take me 1860g to the Kubota dealer Tuesday. If it is still there, I will take some measurements. While I am there, I am going to price a Bush Hog. I sure hope he don't get upset over me buying a John Deere.
