Is she too big??

[Cavjock22]

I have an opportunity to purchase this used cutter.. It might be a steal.. I even have the complete svc history.. But..... Is she too big for Kubota M6060. I知 thinking the weight for sure.. Maintaining pasture with grass and light brush...

Thoughts? Since it says minimum HP rating = 50, and you might get it at a great price, I say go for it. Worse case is you don't like it and you sell it for what you have in it. But that's just me, spending your money.

Edit to add... I've researched those Modern Ag mowers in the past and they have some very nice features.

Wow, that is heavy. According to that sheet and google it is 1600lbs too heavy. It weighs almost as much as your tractor. HP seems to meet the minimum.

On the bright side, you can get aircraft tires for it.

It is heavy, but his tractor probably weighs 2,000 more than this. Why do you say it is 1600lbs too heavy?

Its gonna be all your tractor wants and in thick stuff , it will be a challenge

Looking at the picture more closely I see you just drag it around so my thinking is flawed. I was figuring it was a 3ph type. Still looks quite big at 12' wide.

The optional aircraft wheels did make me chuckle. I would like to see it in action if you get it.
