Bush hog question

[gcp]

Is a 7 foot bush hog too much for a IH 584?

Thanks,

50+PTO HP and a 6000lb tractor,

IF anything the 7' is a little on the small side. IT would handle a 8' easy

I don't have any experience with a 7' cutter but I was talking to Dad the other day who does. He claimed that their old single spindle 7' pulled as hard as their newer twin spindle 10'. I have no reason to doubt what he says.

I agree, go with the 8', unless you've got a deal on the 7'.

OK, thank you!

If it gives you a point of reference, I'm running a 6' with a DX33. Have to go slow when it gets really thick or woody....but she pulls her just fine. Yes....front weights were necessary. lol
