    Thinking of upgrading my old 5'6" Belmac with a 7' or 8' side mounted fully offset topper.

    Just wondering the following:
    1. Will my 90hp tractor be able/heavy enough for a 8' side mounted topper or would 7' be better ?
    2. Will the outside of the topper lift of the ground when I let up the lift ?

    Thanks

    Have an 8' Abbey and it surprised me how heavy it is the first time I picked it up. You should lift it fine, it's only on the road it might make the front a bit light depending on your tractor. In work mode it shouldn't be any problem.

    What tractor are you driving the 8' Abbey with
