I'm still considering getting one of these offset flail mowers. My big concern is how the 2650 will handle that much weight (600 pounds) offset to the right.

I'm reasonably sure appropriate counterweights will solve any potential problems.

My first thought for a counterweight is a cast iron wheel weight just on the left wheel. The tires are already loaded with beet juice.

Alternatively, I could possibly add a weight rack to the left frame rail and hang suitcase weights off it.

Thoughts on either option and specifically on availability of wheel weights for the 2650 solicited.

Thanks

Weighs too much for a B2650 because it puts way too much weight off center.
You don't have enough HP to run it properly.
