My uncle has had one for a couple years now. At the time they had 2 different pto shaft setups. They didn't tell him until after he bought it. He wasn't happy about it that's for sure. I can't remember right now but on the standard shaft has something to do with when you fold the moco up you can somehow break the pto shaft. Another thing it has heavy half moon skid plates under every blade to protect them. The plates themselves are heavy but the bolt holes on them aren't. They bust out the holes. The original set only went one year. He's on his 3rd set now I believe. There isn't a single scratch or paint missing so he's not hitting anything. He talked to the JD shop manager and he said that is normal. He said every one of them he's seen does it. He showed him a used one sitting on the lot and sure enough it did. He said it's just crappy materials. He also said most people never even notice because unless you know what you're looking for you'll not see it. Those who do see the bolt holes cracked hardly ever replace them. The way they are wedged on they won't really come off. My uncle however takes meticulous care of his equipment. I think he told me once it costs him around $700 or so to replace them. As far as tractor goes he can run his on his JD 4010 sort of. If he hits very heavy hay it makes that 4010 smoke and work fairly hard. It handles it but makes the tractor pull harder than he cares for. We have an arrangement that he uses my 4430 then he cuts my hay. It can still make the 4430 work in heavy hay but it handles it pretty well. It also has ac which I don't think my uncle minds at all. If it were me I might consider going up slightly bigger than 85 hp. It will probably handle it but I think it will sure be earning it's keep.
