Is a JD4210 big enough to use a five ft King Kutter rotary mower?

Is a JD4210-Hydro big enough to use a five ft King Kutter rotary mower? I have a chance to get a king kutter L-60-40-P-FH rotary mower at a very good price. The JD has the following specs:

John Deere 4210 Power:
Engine (gross): 27 hp [20.1 kW]

PTO (claimed): 23.5 hp [17.5 kW] (gear)
22 hp [16.4 kW] (hydro)

What do you think?

Welcome to TBN!!

I ran a 5' cutter behind two Deeres...one was a 16.5 PTO HP 670, the other a 24 PTO HP 790.
Both did fine and your 4210 will do fine. There may be times you have to slow down and there may be times you'll have to take partial width passes, that's all.

5 footer is perfect for that tractor IMO.

I run a 5' rotary behind my 4210, just have to slow the ground speed a little for really thick stuff. It will do just fine.

Every tractor and automobile could use another 100 hp...you may have to slow down in some conditions and speed up in others :~}
