John Deere 5045d and a 8' Shredder

[bdenglund]

Hello,

I have a JD 5045 and was wanting to get peoples thoughts on a 3 point 8' shredder. I currently use a 6' frontier shredder and it is needing work. I use this rig for a side business..
With the 6' shredder I have only lugged down the tractor once in grass that is overgrown and I hadn't been cut in years. 95% of the time I am limited by my speed. I could haul butt and shred but the clump grass and rough ground would beat the **** out of me. I would rather slow down but make a wider cut. Does anyone have thoughts on an 8' shredder or my prospective combination??

Thank yall
Brett

Well I have had to change my plans. My current 6 shredder is on the fritz. Im scrapping the idea of an 8弾r for now and looking at a Rhino TW72..
