Kubota B8200 HST 4WD
I have a B8200 HST and i was wondering if it can use a 6 ft finish mower it will be used to cut my lawn and some pasture that hasn't been mowed in over a year...

Do you think it can handle it

If it can how light will the front end be when i mow...

By finish mower, are you referring to a three blade rotary, or a flail mower? I have mounted a 6 foot flail onan 8200, and not had any problems at all. As a matter of fact, the guy used it to keep his grove cleaned up. He wanted it to look great, and it worked very good. Thing is, it is very heavy, and if you don't have a front loader, you might get some power steering. There are suitcase weights available from Kubota that you can mount on the front bumper. They weigh 55 pounds each, and I think you can fit five on yours. In the past, you would take this front bumper off to mount the loader, and the bumper would become disposable, or just another item in inventory. So, we have taken the old ones, and cut them down the middle and welded them to the other bumper on both sides to add another four weights. Works well to keep it down in the front.

ALEX: i use a 5 ft behind my b2400, and tho it would probably handel a 6 ft. i think the 5 is more reasonable , especially when u get into taller or wet grass. and it is a tad easier to keep tract of when u are mowing, not so much sticking out. i cut some grass that was eally tall, as it has been so wet i ould not cut that area at all this spring, till today. it was still wet and muddy , water standing in some spots, grass 2-3 ft. tall. just kept it in low range, 4wd, and just used the hydro to crawl though it. worked fine. had to do it today as it is supposed to rain for the next 3 days.JUST WHAT I NEED/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif
