I have a 6' Side Winder Model H, 6 X 6, 3 pt. bush hog. It was made by FMC Corp. in Louisiana, I believe a 1974 model. I checked my owners manual and it didn't list a weight. It is heavy built though and must weigh at least 500# or more. I have used it on my JD 530 for years. The 530 will lift it and mow just fine with it with no front weight on the tractor. But I use it on level ground also. Most of the time I do have a JD #45 loader on the tractor with a dirt bucket, and feel it balances things better with the front ballast the loader provides. Can't say how your Ford may handle it as I'm not familiar with them. I tried to Google both side winder and FMC Corp. FMC came up as a chemical company (insecticides etc.), and didn't get anything related to rotary mowers for side winder. FMC used to make Bolens garden tractors also. I had a Bolens 12 hp tractor with mower deck and snow plow back in the 80's. It was a good heavy machine also. Not sure if that FMC Corp. is still in business.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
