Hello everyone, I'm new here. I have just purchased a B6000 and would like to purchase a cutter for it. My 4 ft is too heavy for it to lift and wonder if there is a certain make or model of one out there in production today that would work? Thanks for your time.

Not sure how rough your area to mow is but you may want to get a finish mower that has wheels so your tractor has little weight on the 3PH.
I have never seen a rough cut mower in a similar format as the finish mowers - not sure why not but I guess the manufacturers don't want to compete with the shredder market or the flail market.
A flail mower may work but I don't know how small they make those - there are a few threads on here about how and what the mow.

I do hope you realize that the power take off spins the opposite direction from most other tractors. So unless you already have the PTO reverser you need to find a special built cutter that is designed to spin in the opposite direction from most.
Yes kubotasam I"m aware. THanks though. I drove many of these while in Japan and just reversed the blades on some cutters if it was possible. There is a cutter dealer in Ga who sells one that rotates CC. THey just don't have a smaller cutter than a 4'. Maybe there is no such thing. My old one is just 4' but incredibly heavy. I bought this tractor, well, traded a gun for it, just because it was so small and neat looking. Runs like new and everything works) except for lights.
I guess by cutter you mean brush hog.
I have a B6000 and the tool I use most often is a 1 metre brush hog.
The tool weighs around 150 kg and I have 60 kg weight on the front.
It works fine like this and the B6000 has enough power/torque to deal with the work load. If the job is very heavy you have to drop down a gear and work slower but it is rare that I have to do this.
Ideally a little more weight on the front would be better but it works with 60 kg.

On my brush hog it is not possible to reverse the blades.
I use an 18 spline to 6 spline PTO adapter bought from the UK but similar available in the USA. I got a local engineering shop to make an edge on each blade opposite the original edge.
It works fine.

I would say you need to first repair or rebuild the three point lift or hydraulic system, it should lift a mower of that size with no problem.
