I might have bought too big of batwing mower... Anyone have experience with the Bush Hog 2615 Legend, mine has michelin aircraft tires, chains and is heavy. I thought my John Deere 2355 FWA Cab tractor w/ loader could handle it now I have several people telling me that the mower might be too big for my 55-60hp tractor? The people telling me it is too big want to buy it also. I did hook it up, engaged it with the tractor at about 1500 rpm and it ran like a sewing machine, ran it up to speed and it sounds good. It is used but never mowed more than 100 acres or so and I could sell it and make some money but with my 7 footer this thing looks attractive for topping fields. I don't plan on getting into heavy brush or anything and have fairly flat land. Any thoughts on this, I am new to the forum so my apologies if this has been covered. I realize now the mfg. recommends a 60hp tractor minimum but my local JD dealer said since the tractor is older and heavier it should be ok but wouldn't recommend it on newer 5400 series tractors.
