Be too big for a DB 885?

I’vea good customer wanting a hedgecutter for his 885. Bomford farm trim would be ideal but they always make more than that should.
I’ve a nice pa24 with cat1 linkage and proper stabiliser frame but worried it’sa fraction too big

top link mount pin pulled out, we used to sling a chain around between the two for safety /just incase on a 1490 after it pulled out once on the road ,trimmer on hes back db 90 series weakness yes but.....
then came the beauty of lower link sensing .
that was a pa 93 iirc.

used to love my pa24 sweet little thing. excellent development on the 22 ..

I’m not bothered so much about the balance.
Just don’t want to break something in back end

I'm guessing from looking at pictures that it's just a hydraulic driven version of a PA22?

We have a 22 and from new it was on a 885 for many years with no issues as all, bit sketchy on some banks, but get the same feelings now on the same banks with it on a 1394
