Will my tractor handle this?

[MaherAgriculturalServices]

I'm looking at the John Deere 630 moco with impellers, I have a John Deere 6320 4x4 with a loader. Is this moco to much for the tractor? Keep in mind I'll be cutting 500 acres of my own hay 3 times a year plus doing custom bailing on the side... What do y'all recommend?

Candidly, if your hacking that much ensilage 3 times per year you might be better off looking at a used MacDon windrower in the Ag Weekly Online: Twin Falls, Idaho classifieds.:thumbsup:

You could pull it with a lot less.

Take the photos before you start mowing. It will take all summer to mow 1500 acres 9 feet at a time.

One 13'-15' center pivot would mow just as much as two side pull 9 foot machines with half the labor and 1/2 to 2/3's the fuel. The efficiency of a center pivot or self-propelled is staggering when compared to a side-pull cutter.
