Can a LX3310Hst (ROPS) with a loader and grapple balance out a RCF2060 rotary cutter? I really like the build quality of RCF2060 but I’m concerned with the weight on Lx3310.

The LX3310 specs out the lift capacity 24 inches behind the lifting points at 1676 pounds and a PTO HP of 27. The RCF2060 shows a weight of 620 pounds and a HP requirement of 20 - 65 HP. There seams to be no reason to not match them together.

I am sure the build on the 2060 is stout but I have the 1860 and there are posts in here of large tractors pulling the 1884 and all having great results. You might just save a few bucks and go with the 18 series vs the 20. Unless you intend to really be in some tough situations you probably don’t need to go higher.

Yes, leaving your FEL attached, especially with a heavy grapple mounted will more than compensate for the weight of a 620+ Lb. rotary cutter but at the expense of maneuverability, and it takes HP to move weight. Without the FEL you will certainly need front weights.

Keep in mind that the 3310 Operator's Manual specifies 500 Lbs. maximum for a rotary cutter and the 2060 is more than 20% above this limit even without optional chain shielding. Add 100 Lbs. or so if you specify chain shielding.

I would certainly use a lighter cutter with a 3310.

HP should not be an issue in most circumstances unless you plan to mow heavy heavy cover on steep slopes in which case all bets are off.
