953 nut 55,964 #3 Posted March 23, 2016 Pulling power is limited by traction, hitch weight would be my biggest concern. Too much weight and you will break the trans. housing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any ideas? the second question you need to ask is if you get your load in motion, how you going to stop it? Are you familiar with the meager braking system on this series? I have a 211-5 and it serves cart duty just fine and mows grass beautifully.. I have moved tractor carcasses with it and pulled a lawn roller too. What type of "load" did you have in mind?

KC9KAS 4,741 #8 Posted March 24, 2016 I think everyone is saying this series is a "lawn-mower" only and wasn't designed to be a "garden tractor". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
