Thinking about going to a 7' woods and just wanting to know if she would handle it. Dealer says you need minium of 40 hp but I think the 55 is close enough. Any comments? Thanks

I use a 6' finish mower. In drier part of our pasture I can mow in 5th gear. Over the septic field I mow in 4th. If it is a rear discharge you should have no trouble with a 7'.

I have run a 6" finish mower with no trouble and I just bought a 7" finish mower to use on our lawn.

I have an early 550 that I just bought a 6 ft Landpride rear discharge finish mower for. It handles it good, but I don't think I would want to go any bigger. I do mow on some slopes though. I wouldn't be concerned with the physical size difference, just the required PTO power to turn the larger blades.
