I recently acquired a nice 8ft. pull behind rotary cutter with dual blades. Any idea what the recommended horsepower is needed to run a large brushog like this would be?? I'm not sure if I want to keep it or trade it in for something smaller. Thanks

I have a 4 ft bush hog I would trade you for the 8 ft.

A good rule of thumb is 10 horsepower per foot of cut...especially in tall grass.

I have a 7 ft pull type, single blade rotary mower. I have pulled it behind a Ford Jubilee, about 30 hp, but it was a full load, and wouldn't want to do it very often.
I now have a AC 5040, which seems to pull it fine. I have used it to cut brome hay, and alfalfa. It's not a swather, but it doesn't do a half bad job either.
