Hello all,
I've done a lot of reading, but never posted on here. There seems be a lot very intelligent users on this site so I picked it as the place to come for some answers. I currently have a '75 Ford 3000, and want to go to a kubota with a loader and backhoe. I have found a L35 for sale that is reasonably priced. I currently have a 6 foot 25-40 hp rotary cutter, and a 8' tufline disc harrow that I use with my 3000. The disc weight probably around 1300 lbs. The 3000 specs rate it at 41 engine hp and 39 pto hp and it weighs 3790 lbs. The L35 on the other hand specs at 32 Net engine hp and 26 pto hp weighing in at 6987 with loader and how. I figure the hoe weights around 1500 lbs., which would make the L35 weigh around 5500 lbs. Now for the questions, do ya'll think the L35 will be able to pull the disc with the lower hp, but higher weight, and what will the lower pto hp give me using the rotary cutter. Thanks in advance for any concern or info give.
