Hi There from (way) Upstate New York

Are you sure you want to install a BT600 on your X485? The BH probably weighs as much as or more than the tractor. I think you'll end up breaking the tractor.

Yes it's a little on the big side, but I'll be making a subframe to add support. It's been done before. Also, I'll be running a little lower pressure to keep the loads on the tractor down. We'll see how it all goes. If I don't like it, then the hoe goes back on craigslist and I'll rent a bigger one. The opportunity knocked and I jumped...

As for weight, the hoe is a bit under 600 lbs, the tractor with loader and some weights is more than twice that.
