What do you recomend I put behind a 85hp pto tractor?

I think youu are set up about right. With 2 rigs mowing at 5-7 mph you can mow than
you can bale in a day. The say you have to mow it befor u can bale, keep
mowing and u should be in good shape.

pulling a 13 to 15 mow/co aint happing with an 85hp tractor.youd need 125hp tractor to pull it.are you the 1 with the 5020JDs.if so they would pull a 15ft mow/co with ease.

I'll say with 85 pto hp, you have just enough hp to run that 10 ft disc mower conditioner. I've got 85 hp on mine and its just enough in heavy yields.

You could run a much wider sickle bar mower condition like a 14 ft centre pull pivot type, but you'd have a sickle type rig. If your ground is smooth, not rocks etc, you could do this easily and save a lot of fuel. My ground isn't like that, I won't go back to sickle bar type if I can help it.
