THE BUYING PERSPECTIVE
Know before you order.
- The spec sheet and manual give a 75–100 HP recommended range without identifying PTO versus engine horsepower.
- The spec sheet lists 18 hammers and the manual 20 for the 403740; the manual prints the working width as “871 in. (2230 mm)”, a misprint of 87.8 in.
- Blue Diamond sells through dealers and publishes no list price.
- Check three-point geometry, actual lift capacity at the implement load center, front ballast and axle limits.
- Check PTO shaft length, overlap, shielding and clearance across permitted hitch travel; quick hitches change geometry.
