2516 and rotary cutter size

[firemedicgreg]

Wondering what size rotary cutter to get for my 2516? Was thinking of going with a 60 inch. A 4 footer would be shy of clearing tire width. I've been using a 5 ft box blade and the width seems about right. The 5 ft rotary cutter looks maybe a little large for the small stature of my tractor. I'll be looking for a finish mower soon too. I guess the same questions would apply to that too. I guess while I'm asking, what size tiller does every one use?

I have a Woods 42" bushhog and it is too small. I'd love to find someone to trade me for a 5' bushhog. I use a 66" boxblade and it works well in my soil.

I reused the implements from the 8N I had. I use a 5 foot rotary mower, and a FarmKing 6 foot finish mower. If the grass is too tall the finish mower bogs down but still works okay. The rotary mower works just fine. If I were to go out and buy, I would recommend a 5 foot rotary and finish. I tried a larger back blade and had to down size to a 5 foot blade as well.

Thanks for the replies..... I figured the 5 foot models would be best.....
