The creator walks through hookup quirks, weight math from the manual, and actual field results across two fields with different grass density and elevation. The honest conclusion, it can do it occasionally but isn't the right tool, makes this useful for anyone weighing implement compatibility with a sub-40-hp compact.
An owner-operator channel called Tinker Tractor Welder Mechanic, sharing candid DIY impressions from their own property with no apparent commercial affiliation.
Yes, it can do it occasionally, but it is not the right tool. It worked fine in a thinner upper field but struggled badly in a lower field with thicker hay and elevation change.
No, the operator never saw it getting close to overheating. The radiator screen stayed clean and the plastic grills filtered out seed pods effectively.
The creator suggests at minimum a DK frame size tractor, like a DK5310 with roughly 35 to 40 or maybe 43 PTO horsepower, and recommends a gear transmission over hydrostat.
