Hedge cutter on JD 2650?

[Water Wheel]

Will the JD2650 4WD take a McConnel PA 92, I can put a dual wheel on to increase stability, I have no road work?


I'm giving up my tenancy and having a dispersal sale in September but I can't decide which tractors to keep and which to sell. We currently use the PA92 hedge cutter on a JD 6610 which will be sold.

I want to keep the hedge cutter to do the 40 acres we are keeping, but I’m in danger of keeping 4 tractors for 40 acres of grass, which is mad! I could keep a JD 3050 2WD for the hedge cutter but don’t really need it for anything else. If I sell this that would leave me with an IH 434, DB/Case 1290 and the JD 2650

I’m sure we used to use it on a smaller tractor years ago, but we have all got used to much bigger tractors.

Selling JD 6610, JD 6220, JD 2140 + JD 3050?

I actually know the correct answer, sell everything and pay someone else!

If you already own a JD2650 and a PA92 why are you asking us? You are a lot better placed than most on here to answer the question.
EDIT:
Our hedgecutter currently sits on a 6 cylinder 4WD tractor but it was bought for and used on a IH574 for log enough.

Not got time to put it on and try it before sale, so hoping for a bit of guidance.

Now Then..
I've just seen a picture if a PA92. It's not a big looking machine so it should be ok. I'd use wheel weights on the tank side of the machine rather than a dual wheel..

I use a pa93 on a case 885 no wheel weights manages it just fine

Is the 40 Ac level ground or on slopes , this may effect your choice for the hedge cutter tractor , the 6 cyl JD are much more stable and ontop of the job hedgecutting than the 4 cyl but bit more difficult if the 6cyl is 2 wd on slopes so in conclusion Im no help what so ever ....🫣

BTW this 3050 2wd must be fairly rare , I hardly recall seeing any , always 4 wd

It's a useful tractor , much handier round the yard than a 4WD and as a dairy farmer we rarely go on land if wet.

The 2650 will handle it no bother. It’s only 40 acres and 6 months to choose when conditions are good to go.

Probably be ok.
If this is promotion for your auction could you put a link to the catalogue please.

Got to decide what to keep/ sell before they can do the catalogue. Which is proving a problem !
I'm a hoarder!

You'll end up building a new shed and keeping them all

You jest ? !!!
It's a problem.

 

[Limcrazy]

I'll hoard 1 or 2 for you if you're short of room.

 

[serf]

I'll take 3050 then if you throwing them out ...

@onthehoof They run 2850 on hedger ,

 

[Tractor Tim]

We used to run a pa95 on a 2850 which is essentially the same tractor and were a good match. Personally would keep the 6610 one of the best made in that range but understand why you would go for the 2650 with the nice big window for hedge cutting

Put the lot in and set your reserves realistically but you’ll be there with the auctioneer if it’s a live auction. Keep what you think did not reach its value to you.

It will be fine chap i know, contractor used to do 6 months a year with one and a pa 93 on it.
i used to do miles with a '93 on a 2wd Ford 6600 . only used a dual on really steep stuff also used one on a massey 2wd 390 .
few years ago now that was.....

This is my '79 6600 with a Bomford 580 and bushwacker head. Six weights on the o/s/r wheel, front wheel weights, 5 nose weights, o/s/r 12psi, n/s/r 30 psi. Ran it October to March for 3 winter seasons 6 days a week with no memorable problems.
From what I see, I believe you're looking at a bigger tractor with a lighter machine so I wouldn't have thought it would be a problem.

 

[onthehoof]

We run a bomford 577 on a 2850, handles it easily
