Land Pride and Woods make cutters for that size, they are 42" cut; others may also.

Here's a 40" mower you can get through a TSC store. Should be worth a look at it. The whole KingKutter lineup of XB products are designed for subcompacts such as yours.

I run a 4 foot bush hog on my 18 hp Yanmar, never have had any trouble with too little power. I'd get a 4 footer, much easier to find used and will pretty much cover the area you drive over. If you get in the thick stuff, just slow down.:thumbsup:

Another vote for a 48" cutter. If you want used, much easier to find than a 40 or 42" model. If you want new, you can choose anything from a $600 economy model to heavy duty units. If you want a heavier built unit, check the weight. Some may get a little too heavy for your tractor.

One more vote for the 48. I used a 48 on a 20hp Kioti with no trouble at all in brush clearing and pasture mowing and I rarely ran it at PTO speed.

I have run a 60" on our B7500, it was a little more than it wanted to handle, but it ran it. Loader on the front was a must have though.

I run a 48" on my little 17hp Mitsubishi and I've sheared three PTO couplers. I'm pretty sure power isn't an issue. :)
