I can't agree with everyone here every way. Yes a 966 may be overkill for an 8 footer, as our 400 is handling a 10 foot pull type, but not always all that swiftly. Yes, a 560, a 6- or 7- 06, 56, 66 would be a little better sized. But that 9 will probably hold up a lot better by not being pushed to the max all the time. And I never saw grandpa's 9 or either of our 10's or 1566 suffer from lack of being overworked. And I've only seen our 786 push oil out the exhaust and that was a subzero day when my dad left it running at a dead idle. Fuel use on that 966 shouldn't be too bad because running at or just over pto throttle the governors shouldn't be kicking fuel to it all the time. And you are going to be hiring out, so you won't just be running 11 acres. Plus last I checked 3 pt brushhogs aren't all that great for holding front wheels on the ground so the extra size of the 966 will help there also. The only thing there is that if you get stuck by some freak accident (which never, ever happens to anyone, I'm sure) it will be harder to pull out.

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
