    Rotary Mower Sizing and PTO Horsepower

    I am trying to decide if there would be much benefit to reducing my rotary (brush) mower size to increase the horse power per foot and thus reduce strain on the tractor and possibly reduce mowing time. My L3430HST produces 27.5hp at the PTO, resulting in about 4.5hp per foot on my light duty...
