The 80 is a very desirable collector item...so if you were to retire it...you might not want to sell it

 

I don't think I would. I'm thinking the MC519 would work really nice for mulch and lighter things, but I've had that 80 loaded full of dirt and rocks that might buckle that thin tailgate on the MC519.

 

I have a 10P cart and a similar Cyclone Rake. I’d have to change the bed of the Cyclone Rake to haul the kind of wood that I do off and on. I just think both are good tools to have and keep if you have the room to store them.

 

I have two Model 80's and a 50 that I would never give up. Too valuable and too useful. However, I do have to crack up when I see what people are now asking for model 80's in any kind of condition. They're not made of gold.

 

I have a MC519 and it stays straight behind the tractor. As you turn, the MC519 wheels pivot and move sideways. I do not think it would work well for heavy loads like dirt. Keep your 80 cart for heavy loads.

 

Since You Have Hydraulic outlets this would Make your MC519 Cart surpass You 80 Cart I have had the Kit for 5 years Now Don't see any for sale On ebay right Now But it really is a Game Changer

 

I think I'd have to add a rear hydraulic kit to the 318 wouldn't I? It's either that or run lines all the way up to the front.

 

I know I saw somewhere in the manual that the MC519 is rated at 500lbs.

It is Basically the same a Number 7 Cart as Far as capacity heaped as Far as adding the Hydraulic Lift it Can Carry a Lot More weight then it is rated for with The standard air shock

 

I tested the weight limits of the mc519 cart earlier this year hauling too much landscape rock, blew a tire bead backing up with it, wouldn't suggest hauling too much of anything with it.

Blaspheme I know but has anyone out there ever added hydraulic lift to a model 80 cart? Sounds like something Katt might do.

 

Roy Rector did that to a 17 P Cart But he added a extra axle as well
This is what I would use Warner H-Track Electro-Hydraulic Linear Actuators for One of the Numbered Carts then I could also use it with Tractors that don't have external Hydraulic outlets as well
