Tractor Sizing Bush hog size....

[lragan]

Is a 5' bush hog too big for my F20D? 20 hp at the pto.

I have a 2210 and run a 4 foot rotory cutter. I think a 5 foot cutter is too big for a 20hp pto. I am no expert and I did not sleep with that woman.

You might get by with it if you don't have real heavy cutting. A 4' cutter will be easier on your tractor, though.

I have been using a 5 foot rotary mower for the last 2 years to cut a 2 acre pasture with just grass with a 1610d with no problems. 16hp at pto.

I run a 4' on an F13D without any issues.

20hp should easily handle a 5 footer.

Are you asking will it physically operate it, or are you asking is it safe and will it not overwork the tractor? The answer to the first is yes, to the second, no.

I bought a 5 ft. for my 3110D. Just thought a 6 ft. would be too much for the tractor.

I ran a 5' on a 21Hp 4x4 diesel. Do a lot of clearing and run it through heavy brush.

my lil hinomoto 2002 handles a 5 foot with ease

Running a five foot bush hog on a F20 is too much. Lotta weight hanging off the back end. Running a 1610 with a five footer just plain scares me to think of it!
