Hi to the community!
This is my first post; I have a GC1720 that was purchased new in October 2017. LOVE it! With the weather improving, I want to add a rotary mower to my setup, so I would like to tap into the combined wisdom here for ideas on what to look for.
I am considering two 48" rotary mowers: 1) King Kutter's L-48-40-P-FH that is listed at 470lbs. and suggests 25hp at the PTO, and 2) Bush Hog's Razorback BH4 that is listed at 393lbs. and suggests 15+hp at the PTO.
I know the GC1720 lists the PTO hp at 19.6hp.
My first question: is the apparent mis-match in PTO horsepower an automatic disqualifier for the King Kutter mower?
Thanks!
