Father inlaw has a 5' woods on his 9N has held up pretty good.. PTO shaft and bearing are shot so it jumps out of gear quite often... it handles heavy weeds w/some grass and small trees ok.. large trees other tractors might handle the drivetrain on a 9N/8N can't handle. I agree with treeboy.. a real heavy duty cutter may be too heavy with the caster wheel off the ground... but just mowing should work...I ended up buying 2x the HP and size tractor to do the mowing I need to too many trees for 9N good luck

i've got a jubilee (28hp,i think) & a 5 foot light weight mower is all i think my tractor would handle.. i've got a howse, you can get parts on the net via ups,etc , thats nice.. my other rotarymower is an old independent, which i have replaced the gearbox completely due to misuse(tree stumps) , i just don't think i could get by with a heavy duty landpride like my buddy has on his new orange tractor. i run fluid in my rears, no other weights on tractor, keep my mower low to the ground to prevent high center of gravity on slopes.. a heavy mower my front would be off the ground, & i think iw'd be sinking in due to the added weight,,, i think it's more important to keep the mower sharp & the front a bit lower than the rear & get an ORC in place.. iv'e place an extra 1/8 inch steel runner on my mowers, saves wear & tear on orginal runners
