Recently purchased my first tractor a John Deere 970. Would like imput on implements for the tractor. Main interests are purchasing a finishing mower and possibly a rotary cutter.
I've researched various finishing mowers: Woods, Bushhog, Frontier, Befco.
Befco dealer 2 min from my home. Woods pricey and very few dealers around here. Bushhog various dealers around.
Terrain for use: rolling pastures with some hills.
The tractor is listed as 33HP with 30 hp PTO.
I'm leaning towards a Befco because of ease of getting parts and location of dealer. I haven't read any problems with them on line. I need something that will last a long time.
Befco specs say a 30hp tractor can handle a 7ft finishing mower?
What can this tractor reasonably handle?
Is a 7 ft finishing mower too big.
Can it handle a 6ft rotary cutter by Befco.
The bushhog tech specs say it can only handle a 6ft finishing mower and a 5ft brushhog.
Any imput on the Befco Brand and any imput on what a JD 970 can handle is what I'm looking for. Thanks guys!!
