Question for anyone familiar with the M62 TLB:
Would the M62 handle the beef of a Case 440 hydraulic scraper on the back end? looks like it specs out at about 560 lbs heavier than the Land Pride HR3584 which is the typical scraper I see installed. Thoughts? Extra front ballast?
Thank you!
Bit of a late reply here on my part, but possibly others may benefit from my experience. I am running a M59 with 7foot Gannon High Back hinged cutting edge box, most likely from a case 480LL or a Deere 310LL and these boxes are
HEAVY!!
The M59 handles it well. If you have box blade experience you know with the lack of 3-pt down pressure box weight is your friend. My L5450 can raise this box but it doesn't like it.
Gannon boxes are the best, all others are a second, but good condition ones are hard to find, especially the 6.5 foot Gannon box that was made and branded for Kubota in the 90's.
Don't even consider adding a box without 3 spool hydraulics to complement it, the finish grading abilities are surprising and the hydraulics open up a world of attachment options.
Hope my experiences can be helpful to others. Thanks for this great site
