Farmwithjunk said:So, let's get this straight. YOUR definition of a "utility tractor" would be it should be able to power a 10' rotary cutter?
(Can you say "Grasping at straws in a feeble attempt to make a weak arguenment w/ thesaurus in hand")
i didn't say that at all.. I demonstrated a difference between 'can do something' and 'ideally doing something'. My 850 'can' power a 10' mower. It's about 15 hp and a couple thousand pounds away from being able to do it adequately.
No where in my post did i say that my definition of a cat 2 tractor was one that could pull a 10' mower. You are the one grasping there buddy.. Those words do not appear in any part of my message. Oh.. and no thesaurus needed thank you very much. You solely declaring my argument weak, does not make it so. The facts stand.. when the 3000 was out.. it was the smallest frame tractor ford had.. the 2000 was just a bit detuned.... It's larger brothers the 4000 and the 5000 are much closer to what we now call a utility tractor in hp, weight, and hitch capacity and category... with the 2000/3000 falling easilly into CUT range today, again.. with respect to hitch and hp/weight.
