I seem to recall several years ago reading a thread about one of the larger compact tractors, might have been a MF or Kubota, had some kind of rear end failure while running a square baler. It seems to me like the rear end casing broke from the constant shock load of a square baler rocking back and forth. Furthermore, the tractors warranty wouldn't cover it as the tractor wasn't designed for that type of use and the owner was out of luck.
Anyone remember such a thread?
Reason I'm asking, my brother was looking at a Kubota gear drive L4600 and I mentioned if he ever wanted to square bale, he might ask if the tractors rear end can take it.
IMHO - compact tractors are getting bigger in size and hp, crossing over into utility tractor territory, but I'm not sure they're as heavy built.
Do any of these compact tractors, even the larger ones, warn against using a square baler or other traditional farm tractor implement in their manuals, else void the warranty?
