3pt implement too heavy?

As painful as it was (gosh I hate to spend money), I parted with $500 for a 500 lb King Cutter 2 row disc. The 9N picks it up, but I can hear the hydraulic pump working hard as it does it (the pump is usually quiet).

Does anyone have an idea of the 3 pt implement lifting weight limits of a 9N tractor? Also when I transport the disc through the field, hitting a ridge or trough can cause the front tractor wheels to bounce off the ground.

The disc did do an impressive job smoothing out my amateur moldboard plow job. Looks ready for planting.

Is 500 lbs too heavy for the 3pt hitch?

500# is not too heavy for the 9N. As I RECALL it's rated around 900# to 1000# but I'll be darned if I can find that to verify it. The Jubilee is around 1100# I believe.I run a 680# RO Box Blade on my Jube with no problems..... Does anybody have an exact figure on it?? If the front end feels light try weighting the tires. Makes a big difference.

re: weight in front wheels...go to your local tractor store ($10)and get one of those adapters that fits on your hose and pump some water (and/or Calcium Cloride...as some like in cold country) in the front tires. It's helped my situation.

Possibly the reason no rating for the 9N can be found is the lift was designed for lifting implements which in turn were built by Furguson for the 9N tractor. No aftermarket or others available in the early days. The 8N addressed the limits of the 9N lifting ability as it was designed to handle a 6' tandem disc, something a 9N had a hard time doing. Still no ratings with the 8N.
