Hello, I was wondering what you guys think of pulling a 12 foot batwing finish mower with a 110 TLB.

If you were planning to mow golf course fairways... I'd say go for it! Heavier, 4",5" or 6" grass - I wouldn't do it with my 110!

Finish mower or not; that's alot of machine to power off of 33hp. Eight foot finish mower - no problemo!

But, 10' or 12' -- I think you'd be putting more on the engine and the pto clutch than I'd consider to be sensible.

I agree with AKfish, long term strain will cause problems the 110 is a 31 pto hp machine.

About the 3720, this is a much lighter machine than a 110 without the backhoe. It would need less hp to move around while mowing and would have a better chance at this.

Recommened PTO horsepower for a 12 foot rotary cutter, 60. I smell an expensive warranty dispute in the near future.

Woods says that their 12' cut TBW144 "Turf Batwing" mower (full specs: http://www.woodsequipment.com/uploadedFiles/Products/literature/TBW Full Line.pdf ) requires at least 30HP and the main gearbox is rated for up to 100HP.

I am looking at the woods tbw144. I read that this mower required a minimum of 30 hp. I know my 110 has 33 pto hp and 43 engine hp according to John Deere specifications. I feel if the grass is mowed on a regular basis it should be fine according to all specifications on both pieces of equipment. Thanks for all replies!

Interested to hear your reviews of how that mower/tractor combination performs. I checked out the web link and could not find any info regarding the overall weight of the machine.

Did notice that the brochure pictures offered a 5000 series JD attached to the front...

Is there any reason you NEED a 12'? I think the 8' would be a lot better for you and wouldn't have to worry about power. My $.02 anyway.

The TBW150C only needs 25 pto hp. 12.5 foot of cut too.
