Please keep us posted on what you end up with and how it works for you this season. I'd sure be interested as I might be in the market for a cutter in the not so distant future.

I sure will

I hear you man. I just left a mans house who sold me a caddy. and he had a L 4800 kubota which is a tad smaller and he was doing just that. And he is a custom Baler. Im trying to insert a pic right now

This is a Home made caddy, and its heavy duty. Do you think its worth $1000.00

I don't know what a new one runs but I'm guessing way more than a $1000! That one looks pretty nicely done too.

A new one is close to 4 grand, And up beside this one they look like they were made in China. This baby is heavy. You cant even lift the Tongue by hand. I can use it as a pattern and build them to sale. The old man who built it has passed on. Its one of the first. I think its heavier than a 10 foot vicon mower. Im adding a 8 foot Krone Mower straight from the factor after a fresh coat of John Deer green the Caddy should look nice Behind my Shiny Little Kubota lol.
