I'm looking at a 412 that's relatively close to home. The only down side is, it's Fast Hitch. Not that FH is bad, I just don't think my 560D is
going to pull that through clay. The plow looks to be 4-14, maybe a 4-16. Can I use a 3PT mount from another plow, like the 541? If I can get that
setup, the 806 should pull it no problem. Or can I drop the rear bottom & move the tail wheel up? From the pictures it looks like the wheel is
attached to the standard itself & not the frame.
Suppose it's possible to use it on the 560. It's a diesel, just shy of 2400 hrs, that didn't show any obvious signs of wear in the engine.... well,
minus the valve rockers. It has 15.5s on the rear with dual weights & fluid in them. Injector pump has a fresh rebuild. Wide front for extra weight
& the plow gear. Also have two pair of rear H wheel weights to hang off of the front. Guess it could just be wishful thinking for that. I know
706/756s had an issue pulling 3-16 closer to Lake Michigan, but that was red clay. Don't have any of that here. Just sand & the light tan clay.
Appreciate your thoughts & input.
