I'm sure 80 would walk it, 40 will pull 7 shanks(just barely). What about 60?

Just my opinion, but I don't see a problem with the cultivator, but am a little concerned about the weight of the planter on the TPH. We have a 2100 lb cutter and it took our Case CX80 to handle it.

I am sure your dealer can be more definitive, I usually confer with mine as I am certainly not an expert.

All the m kubotas and the 5xxx jds rated at 3300 lbs at 24" off the back. I have been borrowing a friends 5210jd when I need to trailer it. It will carry it pretty comfortably with the loader attached. My other tractors large enough to carry the drill are too heavy for me to transport:(.

We use the loader and add field stone as necessary to ballast when using heavy 3pt mounted equipment. I've thought of getting front end weights so that I can remove the loader but for now stone is plentiful and free!

Then you should be OK with the proper ballast and since you will be hauling rather than driving. We drive the four and six miles between farms and a heavy load on a TPH can be a little disconcerting.

Our Case handled the weight OK, but it was a bigger tractor and we always kept the FEL on.
