How do you put a smaller bushing on a bigger diameter pin :confused3: CAT 2 tractor WILL work on CAT 1 implement with a bushing BUT Cat 2 implement WILL NEVER FIT IN A CAT 1 tractor LOWER ARM

The manual for YT347/359 suggest the largest mower is 7', so an 8' mower may be more than what the tractor can handle.

I attached screenshots of the relevant pages.

Ray,

My MX and your tractor are similar in size and lifting capacity. I use a Befco 9 ft 2 " finish mower with no issues, about 1500 lbs w/o looking up the exact spec.

Thank you everyone.

What would be the largest rotary mower that you'd want to pull with the YT359.

V53,
The seven ft single gearbox twin swinging blade is very inefficient. To much time lapse between cutting surface contact. You can purchase a semi- trail model, 8 ft or even 10 ft that transfers weight back onto cutter. 10 ft may scalp on uneven terrain. Also 7 ft produces excessive windrows. Take a look at Kodiak brand rotary cutters for comparison and hp required ratings.

Beaver Valley Supply .com has kodiak literature, specs, photos, prices for comparison.

Thanks for the information. I might look into Titan, since it's made locally here in Tennessee. I think they split from Kodiak, so it would be good to compare the two

I used to pull a twin blade 8' pull-style mower with my Massey 1652 (which is very close in spec to this Yanmar)... It handled it fine. But a flail can be a bit more demanding.

I sold that mower and only use the 90" flail now.

Replace the cat 2 pin with a cat 1 so it fits inside the cat 1 arm, then cat 1 to cat 2 bushings where the pin goes through the implement. Would require two bushings on each pin, or use a dual category pin with one bushing on each side.
