The front hitch is rated for 6600lbs on my tractors and can go up to 8800lbs, yeah they can take a plow.

I checked out their specialty equipment page and am still trying to figure out what some are for.
Does anyone know anything about the one that looks like a rototiller/windrower going through the large windrows of topsoil/sludge/??, possible contaminated soil?? It appears to be aireating whatever it is. I've seen petroleum contaminated dirt spread out and aireated but it never on more than a couple acres and was covered with plastic during rain.
Also the one going through the rows of trees, I can't figure out what it does.

This one?

Looks like a compost turner.

Looks like a compost turner.

Thats what I was going to go with as well, Never seen it in person but I have heard of compost being done that way.

Looking at it closely it does appear to have stones and composted sticks, but the size of the operation is unlike anything I've ever seen. I wonder if it might be a topsiol operation where they've added compost and are mixing/drying that way???
I tried to google the name on the side which I made out as "adenoen" but got nothing.

The question is answered.
It's a compost windrower/turner used in agricultural, sewage and landfill composting operations larger than I ever dreamed of.

Great looking machines. Have you customized your hydraulic functions in the Command Center?

 

[cmhyland]

I think they refer to that as sheet composting'

Yeah I had them set for loader work and when I put on the snowplow I pulled back to raise the plow for the first time and it went so quick i thought the plow was gonna take flight. It works great on the snowblower as well.
The amount of adjustments in the Command Center are amazing.

Lol. Few attachments can take the full 29 gpm. Command center makes them easy to operate. Enjoy your seat time.:thumbsup:

I realize this is an older thread, did you ever get any action shots of the 6430's?
