It should handle any 48'' one,

I run a 4' rotary cutter with my 2350 with no problem I think your 1850 would do the same.

I run the 48" xb model from tractor supply with no problems. It's not the king kutter but it looks just like it. I went with the xb because it has two wheels instead of just one I figured it would help stability with a smaller tractor.

48" Befco RM - works great on my 2350. Keep in mind you will need the FEL or front ballast to keep it on the ground. I have suitcase weights I utilize when the FEL is not mounted up.

I don't know what might be different in your case, but for most people, counterweight is not necessary. I run a 40" heavy duty Gearmore (just under 400 lb.) on a BX2200 and don't come close to needing counterweight, even on fairly steep slopes.

Weight...

If you look at the link and the attachment your 40" Gearmore weighs in at approx 390lbs. The 48" Befco tips the scale at 440lbs

I can assure you counterweight is necessary on the Befco/BX2350 setup when the mower is in transport mode (off the ground - in the air w/3pt)

Hmmm, 50 lb just doesn't seem like it would make that much difference. I will take your word though, because I haven't used your rig on your property.

For the OP and others, it is my opinion that at 390 and below, no counterweight is needed, even on hills.
