One 6 foot mower I found for sale used is a woods D80, and according to the info on it the weight is 1200 to 1400 pounds. Can the MF135 3 point lift it without undue stress? I wouldnt lift it much but if I got stuck in mud or something I would need to lift it up.

My empty three point sprayer weighs under a couple hundred pounds. With 65 gallons of spray added the front wheels are light with 100 pounds on each of wheel weights. When starting I lift them off the ground some times. I'm working on adding more front weight for side dressing where I'd like to put 65 gallons of 32% in the sprayer tank while loading the drawbar with the tongue of the old planter that I use for my side dresser. I don't have a loader on my MF-135 now.

I had the same troubles with a 15 foot JD rotary hoe a few years ago, even with a loader on the tractor. That was a JD 415. Once the transmission oil got hot it wouldn't lift that hoe or the matching 6 row cultivator made from a 4 row wide cultivator.

OK you lost me :) I dont know how much that equipment weights. Do you think my MF135 can lift a 1400 pound mower with or without additional front weight?

It won't lift 1400 pounds without front weight.

My sprayer weighs under 200 pounds empty because I can slide it with one hand to align the hitch pins. Fertilizer weighs 11 pounds per gallon, spray mix probably 8.5 pounds per gallon, so for spraying the sprayer and spray batch weighs under 750 pounds. That makes the front end light and it rises when I let out the clutch to get up to spraying speed with 200 pounds of front wheel weights.

Mine won't lift 1400 pounds once the tranmission oil gets hot. It will with cold oil and enough front end weight (like the MF-236 loader I used to have on it).
