Howdy,
New to TractorByNet and looking for some insight from TC55 owners on its flail mower capacity. I just bought its red sister this fall with MFWD, EHSS, and loader. Adding beet juice to AG tires soon for another 1,000 lb. I'll be getting a 3 ph flail mower by next mowing season and don't want to buy smaller than what I have to. Not worried about 6' mowers or those in the 800-900 lb range, should be no problem. Mower I'd like is Woodmaxx FM-96H. 87" cutting width and weighs 1350 lb. Woodmaxx says 50 HP minimum. Some stuff I'll only mow once a year, so it could be thick, and I'll be on some steep ground. I know it's well within lift capacity but will I be light in the front or on power? My dad, lifelong farmer with bigger tractors, advises buying the better-built, heavier mower and just mowing slower if power needed. But neither of us have much experience with this tractor or 3 ph flails. Your experience with this tractor, or 4055, or T2410, is much appreciated. Thanks!
