there big and powerful. pto driven there heavy with not alot of ground clearance ,you cant raise the head up so its hard to handle big trees in row situation.

Lift height may be a concern. The 350 looks like a better set up to me since it has lift arms.

I know one guy around me running a 440, Don't hear alot from him so it must be doing it's job. If it was not you would sure hear about it. The had a Bron and had ton's of trouble and switched to the 440.
Now the 350, that's the perfect balance and, well, it's my choice.

There's a few of them in Alberta they seem to be working quite a bit , Pto drive heavy like a tank. Cheap as borscht at the auctions.

The reason I'm looking at a PTO machine is the hyd overheating issues that can occur on larger gear in hot climates, apparently!!!!!!!!
