The other fellow posted the link for you ( thanks! ).
And I was in your boat.
It took me about 5 hrs to do my mowing.. course Iwas using a 5' hog.. and could have shaved 20 minutes off with a 6' hog.. but that wasn't enough.
I was one day away from buying a sweet looking ford 5000
( about 63 hp )that was mint fresh and restored and a 10' mower. I kinda whish i had.. so I could have kept the 1920 and not traded it.. but this 7610 is a whole lotta tractor
( about 90hp ). Uses a bit of fuel.. but with that same 10' mower.. didn't even notice 2-3' dense grass or 1" woody material.
Mine is 2wd... I only used 4wd on the 1920 when I was discing.. and that was because I didn't have enough weight or hp to do that job.. I think the 7610 will though /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
iF YOU NEED A TAD MORE HP... LOOK AT AN AG TRACTOR.. LIKE i MENTIONED.. FORD 5000 OLDER 6610.. ETC. eVEN OLDER FORD 7xxx SERIES AND 8xxx series.. (oops.. capslock.. ) Also.. the case 1XXX series.. all 65+ hp.. and should pull 12' mowers.. etc. Some of the older ag jobs are inthe 4-6K range. I looked at a case 1070 85?hp and it was rusty and 4000 and ran out ok.
Mowers are built of money.. as far as I can tell. I did alotta research, and found that jd15' was 11k bushhog 12' was 7k 15' was 8.xk I ended up with a 3pt 10' howse for an awesome deal of 2.5k.. but could have gotten the 10' pull kind for 3.1k
I looked at a few other 10' mowers all inthe 3-4k range.. kodiak, etc.
If ya got any questions.. let me know.
