Sam: Old and Jim told you correctly, with SC and 200, front end weight is the limit. That hitch is way over engineered for SC and 200. Given the length and yours has wide front, I'm thinking 1,000# plus. Once you get to 1,500#, I'd start getting concerned about those rear axle housings on rough ground. I have a sprayer, roughly 800# loaded behind my 130, and with about 300# of front end weight, I get along quite well as long as I spray the hills after sprayer is 1/2 full. My hitch will lift it up to about 600#, bear in mind I do have that sprayer very close to back of tractor. I raise the sprayer to desired height then put check chains to carry the load. I would never trust the 130 fast hitch or hydraulics with full load. That sprayer is a 3 point I built a single point adapter for. In building that my goal was getting weight as close to tractor as possible. I have had the sprayer on my brothers 230 using his 3 point adapter. The 230 will pick the full sprayer off the ground with ease and go with it. With 230 wide front, I can spray up hill and down right from full sprayer. Also because of his 3 point adapter the center of sprayer is about 12" further from axle point of 230 than on my 130. Bear in mind what old has said, it's how close to tractor you have the weight that counts.
