In the implement limitations section of the manual it states that the max weight for a rotary cutter is 300 lbs. and max cutting width is 42 inches. I don't want to abuse a machine I've invested so much in, how close to these specifications must I be?
I've been looking at the Land Pride rcr1542 (432 lbs 42 inch). the Woods standard-duty (456 lbs. 48 inch) and the Woods estate series rcc42 (350 lbs. 42 inch). All of these exceed the weight limitation the closest being the Woods rcc42 (350 lbs.) I don't intend on doing any heavy duty cutting. The field I'm attempting to reclaim is mostly milkweed and crabgrass, there aren't many saplings, it use to be a cow pasture. It is a gently sloping 4 acres, of which I only intend to maintain two.
A friend bought over his older 5 ft Bushhog, which I was thinking of buying, but it was much too big for the BX23. Comments or opinions from Sub-compact tractors owners who are running cutters are most welcome.
