M670 Super on a 15 Batwing?

I ve got a M670 Super diesel project tractor. After changing all the fluids I decided to hook it up to my batwing and mow a pasture with some pretty thick and tall grass. The tractor did not like it. Had to go in 1st gear and even in Low range most of the time. Now to be completely honest my tractor has pretty bad blow by, so I m sure it s not got as much horsepower as when it rolled off the assembly line

So is my motor just getting old and weak and is it time for a rebuild or is this tractor just too small to run a 15 batwing mower??

Also this is probably shooting myself in the foot since I was just complaining my poor old tractor can hardly run that bush hog, but is anyone in the Oklahoma area interested in buying a M670 super? I ve been a lifetime MM fan ever since I saw those prairie gold tractors in farming books as a kid. However at this point in my life I am in college and finishing this project isn t going to happen for the next several years at least. I would consider selling the tractor to someone who share the same enthusiasm towards Minneapolis-Molines as I do
 
A 15 ft is going to be a load for a tractor of less than 100 hp. I use a 10 ft on a GVI with 78 hp in heavy grass.
 
Thanks. We normally run it on a 100 horse Kubota and
it has no trouble and can usually go fast unless its
really really thick brush.

Everyone else seems to swear you only need a 70
horse tractor to run a 15ft?? But clearly they must not
be mowing actually thick grass or brush

I almost bought a 10ft but I missed out on the auction,
it went for a pretty good price too, oh well Ill keep my
eyes out. Thanks!
 
Tut, tut Caleb, you'll miss that worn out old 670 if you sell it.
If you can, why not fuss with it as you are able until you're in a better position to give it a freshening up? Perhaps?
