Will a 970 handle an MX-5 cutter

I have a late model 970 with about a 1,000 hours on it. The dealer sold me a LX-5 cutter as the largest the tractor can handle. I'm concerned now that some of our field is terribly rough and the LX5 too light duty to handle some of the wear and tear.

Could the 970 handle a MX-5 and do I need to be concerned?

What's the difference in price between the LX5 and the MX5?

I have a 790 and use an MX-5 with no problems. Just be sure you have enough from end weight. As I recall, the MX-5 lists for around $1800 - $2000, so you're talking a significant cost increase unless you can find a used one. I bought mine used (less than one year) for the same cost as a new LX-5. ....
