Mowing 2005 5103 bush hog max size

[deerefan]

I am currently using a model 286 (6ft) bushhog brand cutter and it has been excellent. 13 years old and still in great condition. On our new farm we have 3 pastures totaling over 15 acres. They are open, no trees. I would like to upgrade to an 8ft pull behind and will need to add rear remotes. My 5103 is a later model 05, about 42-43 pto hp. Will an 8ft be too much?

To which 8' pull-behind are you thinking?

Bushhog brand 3308 or similar

Wow! Tempting, but don’t want to cut my seat time down too much.
