Man enough?

[onthehoof]

Do folk think this tractor looks man enough for the hedgecutter, looks a decent bit of kit from pictures

Id say it is as its probably been on it since new and its stil in 1 piece. The wheels are set out a fair bit which will help stability

40 years ago a ih674 was man enough for a mid mounted 28ft reach turner hydro mower , ran it in 1000 pto as well

no good for roadside verge cutting due to the flail cutter mounted on the right hand side wouldn’t be able to go with the flow of traffic

I’d want to make sure that weight pack hanging by the diesel tank wasn’t causing any issues.

Like what?

The flail doesn’t look as heavy duty as some of the Grenadier outfits.
Usually these set ups are put together by the mower manufacturers, so they ensure the power unit is up to the job regarding axle weights etc.

There isn’t a huge amount to hand it off by there, the step mounts are into the cab and break from just being steps. There isn’t line of sight to anything worth hanging anything off, so I would just be a bit concerned about it dropping down into the tank. There could be a bracket which goes under and over the tank I suppose.

The counter weights are usually on the mounting frame of the flail as it extends underneath the tractor.

Don’t know why I didn’t think of that, thanks
