Mowing Mahindra 4110 - 5' or 6' Rotary Cutter?

I agree with LD1, he explains it well. A 6 ft cutter medium or heavy duty would be a good fit my opinion. When I bought my 6 ft cutter it was for a 3616 Mahindra and it worked fine on it.

Well, 10 months later and you folks who said to go with a 6-footer were right. :) I can't even imagine bush-hogging my 6 acres with a 5-footer. :confused2:

We ended up deciding that a 6-foot standard-duty Mahindra bush-hog w/slip clutch was the best way to go. Unfortunately, neither of our preferred Mahindra dealers had any in stock. :eek: Sadly, the only Mahindra dealer near us who did have one in stock tried to zing us on price (raising it rather significantly after his initial competitive quote) and that left a very bad taste in our mouths. :thumbdown:

One day later, I received a 10% off coupon in the mail from TSC which we were able to use on a 6-foot TSC bush-hog which was already on sale. :eek: It was meant to be. :laughing: I ended up ordering a separate slip clutch as the TSC drive had only shear pin protection. It all went together quite well.

So far, so good. :thumbsup: I do understand the potential pitfalls and limitations of the TSC unit. We did not go into this blindly. But so far we are pleased and I haven't managed to damage it yet. :laughing: Even if it doesn't last us as long as the Mahindra bush-hog might have, at this point the savings appear to have been worth it. :)

it will handle either fine

I have my 4110 widened out as wide as it will go. Wider is better on these Eastern Kentucky hills. The 4110 will easily handle the 6 foot cutter, 5 foot doesn't cover the tracks.

Dougster, welcome back to TBN, and congratulations on your new mower.
As I started reading this post, I thought I would suggest you go borrow a six footer from a neighbor and give it a try. If they don't want to loan one to you for a single cut, come get mine, I have replaced it with an 8 and a 15, so it won't get much use in the future.

Thank you. :) There were no 6-footers to borrow in my area and only 5-footers available to rent. :eek: I knew the 5-footers would work because I had rented them a couple times in the past... but I am so glad that we bought a 6-footer... and, in fact, a fairly lightweight 6-footer. It's no problem at all for my tractor. :thumbsup:

The 4110 would probably handle a 7 foot cutter. I've cut some awfully big stuff with my 4110.

Wouldn't doubt it.. I got a 1540MF Iseki that I ran a 7ft mohak on for a good while... pto turned it well but weight was just to much on the back bouncing around so I went down to a 6MHD Mahindra RB

The 1540 I tried ou before getting my 4110 felt a lot lighter to me, the extra weight is one reason I went with the 4110.
