The little tractor will handle a 60" belly mower just fine but not a 60" 3pt finishing mower. When I purchased mine new in 06, I informed the salesman that I wanted a 3pt finishing mower. He figured that since if it could handle the 60" belly mower that it would do the same with the finishing mower. After using the mower I noticed that the engine temp would run @ the 3/4 mark and if the grass was just a little taller it would run hotter. I took the machine back to the dealer a few times and all the would do is just run it @ 540 pto rpm with the mower turned on for a few hours outside the shop and could never get it to get to the temp. that I indicated. I tried to tell the that they needed to go cut grass with it. Anyway all they ended up doing was changing the instrument cluster, but that didn't solve the problem. I finally relocated the battery which was restricting air flow to the radiator and that helped much. I ended up meeting up with the salesman a few months later at a restaurant and he told me that he made an error in assuming that a 60" finishing would work, in fact it was recommended that a 48" was what I really was suppose to be running. Still using the 60", just have to keep a close eye on the temp. especially on those super hot days.
