searching other posts in this forum, seems that 6’ shredder may not necessarily be too big for mine. Fact, i think someone implied that. i admit you’re going to have to modify your technique and slow down. in terms of weight, the 6’ is less than half the pto max. and handles it easily appreciate the constructive replies received.

This 72" cutter is designed to be used with a PTO Hp of 50-150, your M1735 is rated at 35 HP but it's PTO only has a rating of 26.4 Hp.
I'm also surprised with a weight of 1,440 lbs that your 1735 3-point hitch can lift it as a large portion of the 1,440 lbs is out way beyond the 26" of your 2,535 lb rating of your 3-point lift.
Did you purchase this cutter from the same dealer as your 1735?

It was a bundle package. based on my 4 years with tractor and cutter i’d say they sold me the wrong cutter. But, it’s not that black and white. Ex: I’m not cutting much brush. My hay field was a lot higher than usual. so i started thinking about size. Also, mechanic told me yesterday that a 36 pto hp (which i don’t have) would pull it fairly easily. The shredder is half the weight of the3 pt lift capacity (beyond the ends).
At the end of the day i do agree that the cutter is generally too big.

Be financially cheaper to get a smaller cutter.

Rule of thumb is replace cheapest parts first..... Get smaller cutter.....
Bigger tractor is for other things i need done.
