jd plowboy 07-24-2012 18:21:15 69.160.179.223 Report to Moderator	got a 560 diesel and we can hook a 6 ft heavy 3pt bush hog to it and the lift will pick it right up. we got a 7 ft disc mower and hook it to it and it will pick the 2pt hitch up some but wont pick the disc mower arm up. we changed pumps in it and it still wouldnt pick it up. it has a cylinder on the mower arm and it will mover it alittle but wont pick it up. the tractor didnt have a 2pt hitch on it when we bought it cause someone took it off. could there be a valve or something that the pressure is bypassing. any help would be appreciated [Reply]   [No Email]

I put a larger diameter cylinder on it and had no more trouble. Used it for two years that way until I bought a bigger tractor.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I wouldn't want to try it on my 560. Rotary mower might weight 700 to a 1000 pounds. Check the shipping weight on your disc mower. I bet it is well over a ton. Does the front of the 560 start raise off the ground at all? Gary   [Reply]  [No Email]
