Tractor Sizing Rotary Cutter Size for Bobcat CT450

[miller2485]

I just ordered a new Bobcat Ct450 a couple of weeks ago with the free loader. What size rotary cutter would this tractor handle comfortably? I'm leaning toward the 5' Rhino 160 due to its specs, but wondering if it would handle the the 6' Rhino 172? It will be used to mow tall grass and some brush and saplings.

I just hooked up a 6 footer (grren paint on it) to my ct440 and it handled it with ease.. Cut down several saplings and grass about 3 feet tall. That 450 wont have ANY problem. Good for you! got the big one!

Your tires are wider than 60" so I would go bigger for sure

Ditto on the tire tread width. It is a pain to have things you want cut to have been rolled over twice by both front and back tires.

I have not found an offset rotary cutter but it would be nice to have one. Anyone ever see one?
