What's the heaviest implement you have lifted with a 4066r

My cousin has a new 4066r and saw a used MX10 rotary cutter. It's a 3-point hitch model as opposed to the new ones that use the drawbar. It's 2100#, the tractor is rated for 2500#. I know with the smaller 1, 2, 3 series JD way over rates the 3-point hitch capacity for what the frame will do. I also know that the 2500# is 24" behind the lift arms, and this mower is a lot longer then that. So I suspect it won't work, but figured I'd check and see if any of you have tried something this size. He also has iMatch which pushes it a few inches further back as well.

Just an MX-6 on my 44R which is same weight and hydraulic capacity makes the front end very light with loader and bucket in place. Would require weighting front end. I believe it will lift it but in my opinion it is too much implement for tractor.

When I bought my old Rhino 10ft brush hog last year, I did not think I could lift it with my 4066R, but found out I could. Then discovered it weighed 1700#. Much less than the 2500# of the MX10. I have no problem in lifting the Rhino, but I do not believe I could lift the MX10. The Rhino leaves the front too light to turn unless I have the bucket on the loader. I also have the iMatch. When I bought the Rhino, I had decided if I could not lift it, I would just use it as a 2pt mower and let it run on the rear wheels all the time. You don't really have to utilize the top link. My 110 inch Befco RFM weighs 1500#and the front end is not so light that I cannot turn, however, it definitely feels a little light when on the road.
