8FT VS 10 MX

[Brown Dog]

Just remember that your going to need some front end weight with the MX10 ...

I'm wanting the MX10 3pt Lift Type because I'm mostly backing it up a steep bank & driving forward down it.
I have all 4 tires full of fluid on my 5093E.

Front tires FULL of fluid should handle the MX10 fine shouldn't it ??


I don't like mowing with the extra weight / bang & clang with my 563 loader.

Backing up the hill you willbe fine. If you keep the tail wheels on thr ground you will be fine. The weight in the tires is closer than the suitcase weights. How heavy are they? If nothing else I would put the loader on and run without the bucket.

Tail wheels will be on the ground.
The front tires have about 220lbs of juice in each one.
Too much weight on front (loader) un-weights the rear tires & no traction.
This bank is steep & requires 4wd & DRY ground.
I'm currently mowing the bank with 4720 & 110" RFM but it's too rough on the mower.

I think your front end will be light if you need to travel with the tail wheels off the ground. I hang 4 suitcase weights off the front and have though about adding a few more. (400lb) I have a pretty steep section that I mow backing up the hill and when I run out of traction it's time to stop mowing! If your rear is getting light, bump the 3 pt up a touch and voila! More rear weight. I think you should try it and see what you think.
