I would go for it. I have a 7040 and pull a ten foot cut simi mount bush hog. It cuts all but the thickest with ease. If I hit a tuff patch I just slow down a little.

I have a 12' LandPride wing cutter and I use it on both my M7060 and the wife's L5740.

I'd suspect you will be fine.

Pulled the trigger on the 10.6’ Bushhog.. After giving her several hrs of TLC, put her to work..
Previous owner hasn’t serviced the gear boxes. Used 5 gal of gear oil running and draining after it would get warm.. Oil seems still milky even after 5 drains and re-fill. By the way, sucking the oil out with outboard engine oil sucker tank.. Im thinking I cant get all the fluid out.. I looked underneath and I don’t see any drain plug above the stump jumper..
Other than that.. My kubota can handle her very well..

I run a 96 inch I picked up used ( twice) on my 70 hp tractor. Weighs 2400 pounds. Perfect match.20180911_172837.jpeg

you wont run a 12 foot mower on a 60hp tractor around here unless its dry burnt off august and you are clipping the tops at 12 inches tall - I run a 6.5 on my 65hp and its all it wants in 2nd gear if I am mowing it down to 4 to 6 inches - and that is only mowing at about 2.5mph - you couldn't get me to put anything less than 100hp PTO on a 15' batwing mower around here unless I was topping grazed pasture.
