I do custom hay baling as a side job. I have a M6800SDC and I just bought a L5030 hstc. I got it so my son could rake for me. I was thinking I may buy another disc mower so he could also help me cut. I run a 9' JD cutter with my M6800. I would like to know if the L5030 could handle around a 7' fold up style cutter. I am sure it would have enough HP but don't know about the weight?

A while back I made a list of the things I attach to my L5030 and their weight. This may give you a feel for what weight the tractor will carry, etc., depending on the attachments you have.
Hope this helps.
a.[FONT="] [/FONT]424 lbs measured 72” L2240 round back skid steer heavy duty bucket ( manual says 322 lbs). Specialist says shipping wt is 396 lbs, including 1”X3” planks for shipping, but this does not compute.
b.[FONT="] [/FONT]50 lbs quick attach, L2232A, best estimate from Kubota specialist.
c.[FONT="] [/FONT]139 lbs measured John Deere toothbar. Note I don’t have the optional edge, 45 lbs says Kubota specialist, because it is exclusive with the toothbar.
d.[FONT="] [/FONT]206 lbs measured Kubota QA hay spike.
e.[FONT="] [/FONT]52 LBS measured for long hay spike boom only.
f.[FONT="] [/FONT]1157 lbs LA 853 FEL frame says manual (1186lbs is shipping wt. including grill guard, under tractor frame, no hyd fluid, no QAttach coupler, says specialist )
g.[FONT="] [/FONT]15 lbs for 2 short pipes inserted into FEL QA pivot point crossbar.
h.[FONT="] [/FONT]24 lbs for 2 short axles inserted into FEL QA pivot point crossbar. Long axles are 29 lbs for two.
i.[FONT="] [/FONT]10 lbs front bumper, my estimate, I had welded on.
j.[FONT="] [/FONT]80 lbs 1 front weight, measured.
k.[FONT="] [/FONT]48 lbs for 2 round PVC pipes inserted into FEL large cross brace pipe for holding chain and 2 20 ft logging chains.
l.[FONT="] [/FONT]100 lbs estimated additional on board load (chains, diesel = 7.1 lbs*10 gal, tools, etc.)
m.[FONT="] [/FONT]4090 lbs (HSTC) from the manual: L 5030HSTC tractor, 4wd, cabin integrated ROPS. I guess this is distributed 40% front, 60% rear, thus 1636 lbs front, 2454 lbs rear. Plate under seat talking about ROPS says 4638 lbs reference weight, which Kubota specialist suspects means what the ROPS is qualified for, not weight of tractor. Shipping wt of HSTC tractor is 3540 lbs without tires or rims says specialist. I have been unable to get a better definition of what reference weight actually means.
n.[FONT="] [/FONT]200 lbs, operator, measured
o.[FONT="] [/FONT]1030 lbs rear tire fluids, 515lbs each, liquid filled, says manual.
p.[FONT="] [/FONT]833 lbs 3PH hay fork + carry all + Pat’s system + typical tool box load + 2 bolted in weights, measured
q.[FONT="] [/FONT]593 lbs extra 3PH rear weight, (measured) (3*80 weights + (218 + 105 concrete weights + 30 bucket of rocks) on platform for heavy FEL load.
8595 lbs total, unloaded bucket. 3485 lbs front, 5110 lbs rear = 40%, 60%. So, front tires are at 3485/2/3500 = 50% of max tire capacity. Rear tires are at 5110/2/4400 = 58% max tire capacity.
Hope this helps.
