Ok.

Please someone talk to my wife and convince her that I need a second tractor!!! :unsure:

I have R1 Ag tires. Mowed yesterday, mostly in 1st gear high range, every so often switching to 3rd gear in low range. Thanks for the advice!

So here is what I have: 4 gears shifter (+Neutral), a lever with Low (turtle)-Fast (Rabbit), and a lever with Forward/Neutral/Reverse.

Thank you for the detailed response. It's been a very long time since I drove a manual transmission car but I do have some experience.

Just to provide a little more context. I have about 13 flat acres, not stomps or rocks. A few Mesquite tree saplings, the grass is mostly coastal Bermuda, a have 2 donkeys and 2 longhorns, they keep the grass low. Which out of 4 gears shoud l I use? Do I use low speed (turtle) or high speed...

One more quick question, what gear would you choose when pulling the cutter? Mine is a shuttle shift transmission.

Good point! I didn't think about looking into the recommended weight limitations.

I appreciate the response. Sounds like I should be ok with what I have. Just need some experience.

My MX4800 is a shuttle shift. From my understanding, shuttle shift has a better power output than hydrostatic transmission.

Thank you for the assurance. I got my MX4800 for $25000, the dealer wants $35000 for M5660. I can cover the $10,000 difference if the M-series tractor will make a difference in pulling the mower. It's a life-time purchase for me, meaning I won't be swapping tractors every 3 years. I don't mind...

I'm a little confused. LP spec sheet says HP requirement for 2772 cutter is 35-130, clearly MX4800 is there. Then the spec sheet says LP2772 is 'Kubota Matched' for M series. What am I missing here?

Thank you! I looked at the specs for the cutter and the spec sheet says I need an M series for RCF2772. This is why I'm concerned if MX4800 is enough of a tractor.

Newbie here... first time to own a tractor and/or any implements. Just purchased a lightly used 2017 Kubota MX4800 4WD & FEL with 450 hours on it. Separately bought a Land Pride RCF2772 rotary cutter that weighs 1072lbs. Is MX4800 strong enough for such a heavy cutter (6') or should I upgrade...
