what i have been told on the brushcat is that the 60 inch but not 72 inch is ok for the tc. it's wt is on the ground when working and the 72 inch is not approved because it is too heavy to lift upgright for service vs the 60.

i am going to demo a older 60inch to see if the tc can handle it well as i have a lot of turns on my roads i would use it for mowing. the new model has rollers on either side on the front as well as the large roller on the back to allow the attachment to rest on the ground - the tc basically pushes it and steers but i would not think it would be a good idea to lift it for extended periods. it is heavy - my 240 72 blower is heavy (i think about 1200lbs) and it rocks the tc when on if not on the ground.
