Need JD Tractor to Spin a 54C Deck

[PDe]

Looking for a JD tractor that will spin a 54C deck. Deck is driven via shaft drive. I have the deck, just need the tractor. Not looking to peform any other work with it, just mow.

Which tractor series (new or used) will do the work at the lowest price tag?

I believe the newer 4x5 series tractors are the only ones that will spin the 54C deck (depending on the age of the deck), though there may be a front mount machine that will take it. Either machine will be a pretty substantial outlay depending on age, condition, etc. For mowing only you might consider one of the 4x5 series tractors with 4 wheel steer.
