I am contemplating getting a rhino tr308 pull type cutter(96”) to use on my L4760. Anyone have any experience with a setup like this? Any problems with fitment of cutter to tractor? How about turning radius issues? I have about 43” between the rear tires? This set up will Be used to cut 17 acre field that is some prairie and then overgrown with some bushes and such. No very flat ground either, fairly hilly. Thanks!
I'm not going to be able to give you personal direct experience with that cutter nor with a L4760. Looking at the specs however I think the cutter is a little too much for the tractor. The lift version asks for 55 hp compared to your 49hp and the pull type says 39 hp. Theoretically OK....Cutter weighing in at 2350 lbs, that's a heavy one. Understood that you are pulling it, not lifting on the 3pt but still...even the lift version of the same cutter is 1950 lbs. I'm mentally comparing that to my own 7 ft Bush Hog single spindle cutting the same 96" path which weighs 1460 lbs plus some wheel frames, etc., ~ 1600 lbs. I'm using an 81 HP tractor weighing about twice what the L4760 does... Hmmm. I'm not saying you can't pull it. I just think it will not be a robust combo and you may be disappointed. It is hard to judge your situation in Wis / Ill. If you are mostly cutting light material and not going over a lot of steep ground ... you may be OK. I cut a fair % of very steep ground (a lot of which is 45% slope and a few places steeper) in WV and it would not work for me. Just thinking out loud for ya. p.s.: One data point is my pasture renters use a Landpride cutter the same dimensions as what you are considering and with the twin cutter design but lift type. Heavy beast. They use a Kubota M6040 62 hp and about 1500 lb heavier. They are happy with it.
