Yanmar 1700

It might be nice to have a 5' but why rush it? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The 4' will be much better suited for the tractor. It will fit behind the compact, you wont get it hung on trees, it wont bogg down, and you'll have more power to cut thicker stuff. Seems like a no brainer to me. My 2000 pulls a 4' because of these reasons. It could definitly pull the 5' but if I was in a hurry and needed to cut large feilds, I would have bought a 30HP MF or NH /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif..

Those are the same reasons I pull a 4' behind my 2000B. Since I reversed the rear tires, the tires are a little wider than the mower,so I use the trace chains to offset the mower to one side for getting close to fences. No problem driving the tractor between two trees only to have the mower hang up.

Plus I get that much more seat time with the 4'.
