I have just finished rebuilding an 8N(506305), and now it is time to put it to work. Would someone please tell me if I should go with a 4ft or a 5ft brush hog. I will be mowing on some slight inclines. I do have the rachet on the PTO. Thanks

Go with the 5 footer. I use a 5ft Howse in the hilly part of south Texas. You should have no problems.

I'd go with the 5'. The 8N can handle it and it will allow you to cut equal to or slightly wider than the tractor's width.

Second that motion, for the same reasons. In fact, if I were to stumble across a 6' one cheaply, I'd like to try that.

I use to use a six footer on a Jubilee in California. It handled it fine.

Thanks bg. That is the one I was leaning toward, but I wanted someone else's opinion. There is a new HOWSE 45hp on sale for $499.00 til tomorrow at the country store. Thanks again.
