I am interested in getting a new bush hog to use with my 1969 International Harvester 444. Does anyone know what maximum weight bush hog I should get that won't cause the front end to come off the ground? I do not have a front-end loader or any weights. My tractor weighs about 3800 pounds according to TractorData. I know I need a 5 footer, but I need to know whether or not it will handle a medium duty bush hog over 900 pounds without lifting the front end. I am currently looking at the Woods BB600X at 1068 pounds, and the Bush Hog BH25 at 906 pounds. The Bush Hog BH25 is the lightest medium duty I could find in a popular brand name. I have also looked at a Kodiak MD 5, which is 655 pounds and much cheaper -- however Kodiak's medium duty bush hogs seem to match the specs of the popular name brand's standard duty bush hogs. If I have to step down to standard duty due to weight I am considering the Woods BB60X and the Bush Hog BH15 2, which are between 600 and 700 pounds. Also, any thoughts on the Kodiak medium duty in comparison to these?
Thanks!
Thanks!
