Hi Scott,

I have a SA with a 3pt conversion, and use a Servis/Rhino 5' PTO finish mower for the lawn. Compared to the options you list, it's light (about 250#). It works great.

Also use an antique JD 5' brush hog that weighs in the neighborhood of 450#, and while the SA will pick it ok, it's about the limit without front wheel weights. Carrying that kind of weight will readily sink the tractor rears on soft ground. You probably don't want to do that on a lawn. I'd be on the lookout for something lighter.

The PTO shaft will probably have to be shortened, especially if you are using an overrunning clutch adapter (highly recommended), but that's a lot easier than making one longer. Another thing, is the PTO being 'offset', I lock the 'sway bar' hard to the left to reduce the U-joint stress.

Hope that helps.

Well Worn
