Hi Saskman,
It's not that I don't. I know these little guys are brutes. But look at the math. If it's 1150 at 2 feet out and you have a 72" cutter bouncing around back there that likely weighs over 650 lbs. you have to calculate that the center of gravity of the cutter is 72"/ 2 (roughly in the center of the cutter) or at about 3'. Give another foot (probably more but I'm being conservative) away from the tractor 3pt which gives us 4'. The force reflected back to the tractor is 4'x 650 lbs. or 2600 lbs. If the 2320 is rated max at 1150x2' = 2300 lbs. then we are over the weight limit by almost 300 lbs.
MY 2720 is rated at 1250 lbs.x2' or 2500 lbs so my Woods HC60 (about 640 lbs.) reflects ((5/2)+1')x640lbs. or 2240 lbs so I'm just below the limit. I have a 60" cutter run with 23.5 PTO hp and he's running 72" which probably weighs more AND is further out.
Just be careful, I wouldn't be going after anything over an inch in diameter, especially with only about 18 or so PTO hp.
If you look at Deere's attachments they run 2x20's on 4' cutters and the 3x20 series on 5' cutters.
I have the horses but I'm still careful about the weight. My dealer thinks I'm over about 6", he advises a 54" cutter.
