well, not sure if this helps, but i ran a 60" 2 stage for 6 years on a tractor with 25HP to the pto and had power to spare

if you have HST than it really wouldnt matter

Sounds about right... I did find a 64" online that specs 20 to 50 hp. I do have HST with an estimated 33hp at the PTO.

I think even if you find the blower is too big for your tractor, just slow down and take a narrower pass. You'll be fine. :thumbsup:

My Massey 1533 (26 PTO HP) does a good job running a 66" Loftness, just have to slow down a little if its really wet.
