Well i should have gotten the 58" wide model, i burried this thing in packed dirt ive driven over with the trucks and tractors for the last year and the diesel 27hp legacy xl doesnt even struggle. I had to kind of try to move fast forward before it started to bog with all the dirt it was "pulling" underneath of it.
It would run a 58" model "powerwise" no problem.
I have the lift links set to the low lift setting, it doesnt lift up very high off the ground at all, maybe 2-3" tops. I cant set them to the higher setting because the pto shaft has such a bad angle, you really cant even run it while lifted because its so darn close to the pto on the tractor. The dealer had it hooked up "minus the shaft" to a deere 2305 tractor and it looked "lift wise" like it would be able to more easily handle the lift height and angles etc. I think this again comes back to the fact that the simpliicty is a cat 0 not a real cat 1 limited, so in turn you are always "limited" to anything you hookup thats not made for it from simplicity.
Aside from that, its a beast. I could eat up an acre of property in no time and have it ready for new seed and fertilizer in an hour and a half. I still have the 7hp simplicity walk behind tiller thats forward rotation... this thing ate up that garden area in about 90 seconds total. It has the optional slip clutch and manual side shift capabilities, which im going to adjust it over one more notch so that its square on the back of the legacy.
no action shots, was trying to unload and finish fast before the woman realizes i got a new toy... i think she must assume i did this with the walk behind 14" wide tiller lol. I just broke the news to her about the new 32' 18k equipment trailer im getting for the john deere in the background on our way home from Florida the first week of August this year so it would be too much for her in the same week
