I've just acquired a Kubota M5700 Utility Special and separately a Woods bb7200 rotary cutter.My kubota owners manual says 1200 lbs. Max for 3 pt. implements and this cutter weighs about 1450-1500 lbs.according to it's manual.
The manual also states 4200 lbs lifting force at the links and 1500 lbs @24 ln behind the lifting point. Should I fill the front (4wd) tires?( no fel), or should I obtain a lighter cutter?I have 8 suitcase wts that weigh about 40 lbs each and fir on the front rack.
This is my 1st 4 wd tractor,but l've had quite a few 2 wd/bush hog configurations. Balance and durability are both concerns in this hilly part of SE Indiana.Also I plan to do some "commercial" work in my retirement to complement my stump grinding service.Safety is paramount. Any ideas?Thanks in advance,John
