I own 55 acres, of which 10 is field and the other is young forest. I am looking for a tractor that will run a 72" rotary meduim duty rotary cutter. I am looking at tractors from 25 to 35 pto HP. The landpride RCR2572 specs say that 25 HP is needed and the woods specs a 35HP. Does anyone have experience with this size cutter. I need to be able to mow brush up to 2" with the occasional 3-1/2" tree. I own a DR field and brush mower which specs a 1" cutting capacity, but will cut up to 2-1/2". This mower is too small to keep up with 10 acres. Will this cutter fit my needs and what Hp is necessary to adequatly run this implement?
