I currently run a Kubota M6800 to use a 7' land pride brush cutter and 7' snowblower. 68 hp. Even with sharp blades, some real thick grasses makes tractor work harder than i'd like. I usually mow in first to get it all. Would 90hp give me the umph I'm looking for and perhaps give me enough to maybe go to a single batwing 10 footer. Some mowing is also red brush and tag alders. If I can drive over it it gets cut. Would not use the 10' for heavy brush. Thoughts?i

i think you are looking for justification to buy a bigger tractor. So…..definitely YES! You need at least 100 hp to run the mower, blower and anything else that may come along. When your wife questions why you’re getting another tractor, tell her we highly advised it. I’m sure there are others here that agree.
