You might be able to handle that drill......I think your on the bubble? I'd ask a dealer.....or maybe Land Pride tech. Do you have a loader? or ballast in the rears? Keep in mind the lift capacity is 24" behind the rear pins. Pulling it would be a non-event.

On top of it being *very* close to the weight limits, once loaded with seed it could be even closer and I do have hills to contend with.
My 4 row JD 7000 corn/bean planter is able to be used behind my tractor and it can be a little dicey at times. It would be close with the 606NT

I just looked up your tractor and it states 2310 lift capacity at 24”. Mine is a bit smaller (55hp John Deere) but claims a 3192 lift capacity. That seems like backwards to me.

The Kubota's sacrifice lifting weight for some reason, not sure if that's because the tractor's drive is hydro or just something with Kubotas in general. My 41 HP JD (hydro) can lift 100# more than my MX6000.

Tractor horsepower these days is a bit misleading on capability. More to do with tractor frame size as what lifting can be done. The compact tractors these days are using turbos to jack the HP numbers a fair amount but not the gonna change the hydraulics much. I have a 4000 series John Deere from the late 1990s that is only 42 HP and no turbo. Frame size is almost the same as much newer series 4066 models which are listed with 65 HP. But my rig/loader is within like 50-100 lbs of the specs for loaders they put on the 4066. And the 3 pt capacity is identical at 2500 lbs.
All that extra hp can maybe do more for some implements at the PTO but pulling and lifting it does not really come into play.

I have a 90's model JD 5400. It's only about 6 more HP, but it's rated to lift about a 1000 more pounds. It also weighs 1000# more. If you went with a pull-type 606NT, I don't think you'd have a problem. You are right at capacity with a dry drill as far as 3 pt capability. Plus, if you have hills the 3P606NT throws me around some when raised and I'm much heavier, as far as tractor weight. I'd definitely want to hook to one and see how it goes before biting the bullet.

Went to the Verizon store and was offered a New IPhone 16 and a new IPad Air generation 10. Just sign up for 3 more years. Got my wife a new phone too. Stilll….by the time you pay tax and some accessories…..upgrades ain’t free. Pretty good offer tho…..and it was time to update. I sure like the new bigger screen on my phone…….can read it much easier. In time I may get out of the MacBook and more into this IPad too(:?). Seems good so far and I like the portability. It’s an “air model” so I can use it at my land or in the stand. Kinda growing on me……of course I added a keyboard from Amazon.
Lots to learn to become proficient. The tech does not come easy to us old guys.

I have not looked at my old scrapbook for some time. When we were doing the SHOT show I was always looking for a draw to our booth. Likely the best one I ever did was to "borrow" a huge Brown Bear from Blacky Landerville in St Paul, MN. He killed the #3 Safari Club bear at the time......and loaned it to me for the show. I had to have a shipping crate made for it.....and worried all the while it was in transit that someone would destroy that crate or his bear. A few of my employees are pictured with the bear for size reference. Fun memory.

Somewhere along the line.....I came into this vicious looking spear/grabber tool. It really works slick. I have never seen another. Open the jaws to set the center trigger......and jab it at the body of the fish / critter. I am uncertain if they used these for fish spears or for trapping. It's made by Nordlunds of Wlliamsport PA. Anyone seen one or know what folks used them for? Mine has a wooden handle about 5 feet long. Seems well made.
Those Jaws open up to about a foot wide when it's "set" and lots of force closes those jaws......and NOW!

Edit: I just did a "google" and was able to find one of these. Seems they were made in about the 40's.......so maybe Art used one back in the day? Grin. Anyway.....more pics are shown. Neat "fishing gaff" according to what I read here.
