CK2610 rear blade size?

[tiogajoe]

Can anyone tell me if you can rotate at 6' rear blade on the 2610 without removing from the 3pt? I'm looking at a Bush Hog 50-06. I need the swing offset to clean ditches without getting too close to the edge of the road

With a 6' blade I would say yes for sure, but why not get a 7 footer? Your tractor will handle a 7' rear blade fine. With a 7' you need to really check to be sure, my guess is yes the blade can be turned 360* when the boom is straight back.

Also depends on the blade , I’ve seen some of the cheaper lines that will not turn due to the main beam being short.

Even with a 6' blade? I know wider than 6' starts to become a problem for the more economical units, but I have never seen a 6' blade that would not turn 360". You would have to have something like a 30" boom and I think that 36" is about the shortest that I've ever seen on any full cat 1 units.

I will have to see if I can get a look at a Bush Hog 50 series blade am measure the beam. I had a 5 footer on my 2510 and could rotate it with no problem.

I have a 7' woods on my CK25 and I can turn it all the way around. It takes a little "finesse" , but doable. I think a 6' blade is too short.
