Hi all,
Just purchased a Hardi 3pt mounted vineyard mistblower for spraying our vineyard. The unit weights about 540# empty, and when filled can go right up to the 3pt lift limit weight. Our B2910 has no problem running the spray unit (HP wise or carrying the weight ).
I had to attach the loader when first using the sprayer for counterweight purposes. The balance situatuation worked out fine, however the loader sticks out so far in front of the tractor, it requires me to spray every third row and then come back for the rest in order to make the turn radius' work.
I have since constructed a concrete counterweight for the 2910's front end. It weighs about 400#.
To make a long story short /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif, is this too much weight for the tractor front frame ?
I will try to hang the weight today and give it a test. The weight attaches to the bolt plate just below, and attached to, the LA402 sub frame.
Let me know what you think. I will try and post some pics later.
Thanks,
Tony
