Question for M4800 Owners

[Bob_Young]

In the Implement Limitations section of the Operator's Manual, what is the listed Max. weight and cutting width for a Rotary-Cutter type Mower?

The dealer has an M4800SU 4WD that looks interesting, but it has to be able to handle 1200# mower.
Thanks.
Bob

I don't have an M4800SU but on its spec sheet it lists 3310 lb lifting capacity 24" beyond the hitch pins, with 4200 lb at the pins. By the moment law that would calculate at 2840 lb 42" behind the pins (center of a 7' rotary). Being a 2wd tractor it would want front suitcase weights but should handle a 7' rotary ok.

I have a 4700 SU which is basically the same tractor with a few less bells and whistles. I use a 7' HD rotary which is a heavy beast with no problems at all. Mine is 4WD. The 4800 is a stout tractor.
