krone am242

Does anyone know what hp it takes to run one of these am242 mowers properly . I was wanting to use my 3910

You should have enough hp i have ran my krone am242 disc mower with my 3610 ford. If a 3910's lower arms are like the 3610 you will have trouble with the weight on the right side bent my stabilizer bar and lower right arm into the tire. Had it on my brothers 2610 long worked great no problems its about 60 hp lot heaver lower arms. Run it primarily on my 285 massey ferguson about 85 hp never a problem don't even know it's there. Your 3910 might not have any problem with the weight of the mower it is bigger than a 3610 and it will run it just can't handle the weight. Hope this helps

All depends we ran 2 of them in the uk and in heavy crop with certain grasses ford 4610 was not enough unless you just crawled along , We ran ours on ford 7610's. Watch the frost plug oil filler in the gearbox they were forever popping out and getting dirt/hay in the gearbox .

That would fly with it . The 3910 will run it but it will depend on crop and how fast you expect to go . I find an underpowered tractor lugging up and down will cause the drive belts to slip too .
