MT125 Flail mower size?

[skikir]

How big of a flail mower can you run on an MT125? I was going to get a Betstco 53 inch medium duty mower but they say it needs requires 22 HP at the PTO. I have one of their 53 inch rotary tillers that they say requires minimum 20 hp but doesn't even slow the tractor down on virgin ground. I don't want to go less than 48 inches because that is the width of the tractor. I want to clean out some woods and some small field mowing. What size are you running out there?

You should do fine with the 53". If you run into heavier stuff, just slow down your speed. I ran a 60" finish mower on my 125 without issue.
