NC3000 is ideal for that power tractor. Vital the cooling system is working 100%. Clean radiator and grills to allow proper air flow.
I have one on 80 hp Zetor. No bother to it.

I have a NC3000, its easy enough worked. I have a neighbour with a Major agitator and he can work it on a MF168. Its light enough to carry and it has an anti-clog cover over the shaft so no grass, twine or net gets wrapped around it.

Major often have shop soiled agitators that they sell with significant reductions.

We bought it in 2008. It was shop soiled. (It had never mixed anything but had ben left in a yard for a couple of months and we bought it out of season). Bought it in Walmsley Tractors in Enniskillen for EUR2800. (There was a great sterling exchange rate at the time). Its galvanised - I'd recommend nothing but galvanised. Had to collect it from them as part of the deal. The cheapest I could get it around here at the time was EUR3400. It mixes about 25 bays of slurry every year and the only thing I have had to put into it is grease.
