Ford 800 finish mower size

[milkie62]

I have a Ford 800 that has had an engine rebuild and only has about 600 hrs on it. I was thinking of getting a Frontier 7' finish mower or an equivalent brand. Will my tractor run a 7 foot finish mower ? Thanks Ed

I'm not familiar with the Ford 800 but I am familiar with pulling a 7 ft Finishing mower with a 5 ft tractor width. Not a good idea it's best to track your tires with the same width mower. Again, I probably couldn't identify a Ford 800 but I wished to caution against the mower being wider than the tractor.

I use a 5' King Kutter with my Ford 861D. I wish it was a six foot, but I bought the five foot when I mowed with an 8N Ford. I think 800 could easily run a 7' finish mower, but that would be a little unwieldy in tight spots, but large open land not so much. I have gates to get though, so 6 foot would work best for me. Since I got the 4' Husquvarna riding mower, it is more efficient for me to mow with it than mounting the 5' mower to the tractor and I can get into tighter spots with the riding mower, but I only have a couple acres to mow. If I had a 6' finish mower, I could see a time advantage over my 4' riding mower.
