48 inch rotary mower 4 my S470, too big?

[Big Hammer]

I have a chance to get a 48 inch rotary mower and I wondered if anyone here has any experience with their similar tractor / mower combo? (mine is a Satoh Buck S470 4x4 3 cyl diesel) Currently I use a 42 inch deck and it works great; it is just getting old and beat up; need to re-build or replace it.

Thanks,

Mark

Perfect size for the Buck. I've got a Woods RM48 on mine, and it handles the load with no problems. Might need some extra front weight if you don't have any right now.
