Sizing a finish mower to my L3940

[PHILIP8N]

L3940 has a larger engine and more pto horsepower than CT335. Philip.

I bought my Woods RD7200 new back in 1999. Used it on 8N for 10 seasons, on L3940 for 5 seasons. Grease it every spring, and replaced blades once, that is it. I also have a field converted to a 'grassy area'. It has been a good unit. Landpride also makes one of the best. Philip.

Just to chime in, I have two Woods RM990's which I run on tractors with 28, 34, 37, and 49 pto hp. The RM990 is a commercial-quality rugged unit with swing-back blades - well-suited to former orchard (rock farm) converted to uniform grassland. Even the smallest tractor handles the RM990's ok, though if the crop is extra dense or wet it needs to go slower for a full-width cut.

I pull a 7 foot Woods PRD8400 with my 3940. I usually run mine about 450 rpm in medium rabbit. More than enough power even at that rpm.

I have since sold my 3940, but I used to run a Land Pride 7 foot. It was a nice mower and the tractor handled it fine.

You might also want to measure the width of your rear tires. That 6 foot is barely going to cover your tires.
