Use the rear lift spec first, then use rear PTO horsepower is 34.5 hp and operating weight is 3,770 lb (1,710 kg) to judge whether the implement is sensible for real work
Rear implement matching
Rear hitch capacity is most useful when comparing actual implement weights, especially for rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box
