I recently purchased a 1959 Ferguson TO35 and am looking for a brushhog.
The outside width of the rear tires is about 68 inches.
On tractordata.com, it says the PTO horsepower is 32.
Would a 5ft or 6ft brush hog be better?
Some folks say that a 6ft could be too much for this tractor, while others say it could handle it.
As for the width of the brushhog, folks say it is better for the brushhog to be wider than the rear tires. This way, you can get closer
to things for trimming . You also don't cut disturbed grass as the tractor tires would flatten down grass on the first pass you would end
up not cutting that on the 2nd "overlap" pass.
Other people say to have it narrower than the tire width so that way you know if your tractor can make it past, then the brushhog will as well.
There is also the question of shear pin vs slip clutch and then which manufacturer (Woods, BushHog, KingKutter, LandPride are the ones in my area).
I have about 8 acres of horse pasture to mow.
On another question, it is correct to say I have a Ferguson TO35 or a Massey-Ferguson TO35?
Thanks
