I have found the implement manuals to be laughable at best and no where close to real world.
They never used to put this crazy stuff in manuals. People just did what worked. Its all about CYA for the manufactures.
MAnual says max cutter for my tractor is 7'/1000#, I use 8' 1620#. IT says max 2x16 plow and I pull a 3x14 with ease. Max pull type disc is 7'/880#....I pull a deere 210 ~11'....and probably alot heavier than 880#. SAys max 6' rear blade....well the tractor is 6' wide so how do you cover tracks when angled? I use a 8' 1250# hydraulic blade. Says most I can tow is 7700# on a trailer. I have no issues with my 12k dump loaded to capacity.
The manual and its limitations are great if you are inexperienced with tractors. But dont treat them as gospel that should never be broken
