Brush Hog & BX2670

[BCBSLICK]

Will this tractor (BX2670--26HP) handle a Woods 48" rotary cutter? It weighs in a 400+ pounds...

Any suggestions as to how much weight might need to be placed on the front end?

Thanks...BCB

Yes it will, we use a 48" Land Pride RCR1548 weight 424 lbs. on our BX2200 and BX2660.

I don't know about the front ballast as I always have the FEL on when bush hogging.

BB48-no complaints.

Arrival, just pulled out the trailer:

Thanks...

I wonder what it will be like with just the hoist on the front without the bucket?...

That FEL is so dang clumsy...

The reason I ask this is that I thought I might just take the bucket off, but let the lift arms in place--even when mowing?...

Maybe this isn't practical?...

That loader is the most miserable thing to attach if it is not on concrete or absolutely level ground...

I don't have any trouble. Stop about a foot forward, hook up PTO, then back up and hook mower with quick hitch.

Once you do it a few times, the loader is very easy to remove/install, I've done it on grass, rock and concrete.

I agree the FEL can make it a it harder to maneuver and obstructs your view. I've taken the FEL off on our L5740 before and liked it, but we have a lot of hills, so I rarely remove it anymore.

With the low ground clearance and easily damaged boots on the BX, I use the FEL and bucket to knock brush etc. down.

I have a 2-acre field to keep cut-down. I presently mow it and it is just too time consuming to mow it with deck used to mow my lawn. I was going to let it grow and hit it a couple of times in the summer rather than the weekly-10 day rotation...

I do have a slight hill, probably 40 feet long, and although not real steep, I still have concern about the brush hog being so heavy that it might lift the front end of the tractor...

If climb the hill with the brush hog completely down, as if mowing with it, will that eliminate the front end coming off the ground...

Also, what about going back down the hill? I am a bit scared of sliding even in 4wd with the differential locked...

My basic concern is the fact that the brush hog is heavy and it might be a struggle for the 2670 to handle it safely...

Thanks...BCB

Is your BX2670 a hydro transmission ? If so then your pto hp is only rated at 19.6 hp not the 26 hp. You lose hp at the pto with a hydro. Looks like the woods bb48 will work for you. I just bought one for my Kioti ck27. Great cutter. I keep my FEL down to knock over tall weeds and small saplings, plus it helps with the ballast up front. I just avoid going sideways on a hill, either straight up or straight down.

Check the quote again. He said loader, not mower.

OK

Glasses cleaned now.
