Mark...I've owned a SC2400 for 2 years and now and have a 3 point 4.5ft brush hog on it which works well. Naturally, if you have a lot to mow, it's going to take some time but it gets the job done. I did read on another site were someone was using an older 5ft pull type brush hog and they had good results with that as well. Hope that helps.

In the operators manual on page 4-1 in the Implement Capacities section, it lists the maximum towing capacity at 661 pounds. Looking at the picture that is supplied, looks like a little kid drew it, it looks like this weight would be considered if it was attached directly to the tractor. I've pulled my 6.5ft by 16ft landscape trailer around the yard with a box blade attached and didn't have any problems. The trailer weighs about 1500 pounds but I don't know what my 5ft box blade weighs. My box blade has a ball on the back that I use for towing.
About the only time that was a little troublesome was when I had about 2000 .lbs on the trailer. My front wheels were still on the ground but I had to go slow so I could steer.

The 661 Ibs Max towing capacity in the manual has to be a mistake/misprint doesn't it? Could it be 1661 Ibs?
I am going to put a question for subcut owners of other brands, in the general forum, asking them to find out from their manual what the maximum towing capacity is.
I have already found that the Boomer 1025 gives a 2,640 Ibs maximum towable mass! That is a heck of a lot more than 661 Ibs!

Mark, as for towing ability, Friday I pulled a Ford f-150 w/16 ft trailer loaded with nine 8' leyland cypress (root balls approx 300 lb) out of the mud it was stuck in. Maybe there is a "working towing capacity", but I am not aware of it. These little tractors are awesome!

Finally got my "slasher" (rotary cutter) and used it for the first time.
Ended up going with a 4' model.
Am very happy with how well it cuts. No bogging down of the motor at all although the grass wasn't super long.
3 point hitch has no trouble lifting the slasher's weight and the position control is great!
Here are a few before and after photos.

Thanks Scoutcub.
Only issue I had with the 2400, which I had never really thought about before, was when I bush hogged an area which hadn't been touched in a year, the tyres slipped right into some ruts. If I had a tractor with larger tyres I wouldn't have even noticed it. But that would be a problem with any Sub-Compact Tractor due to their small tyre size.
