Hi Bob, I have a Hesston 3312, which is the same thing as a Massey 1372. Rubber and steel roll. I always run it on my Deutz-Allis 7110. With 110 hp, I have not really needed more power. In thick 1st crop it takes more power and on hills you definitely know it is there. But if it takes that much power I am alright if I have to slow down a little to be easier on the discbine. I expect to get another 20+ years out of it so I may treat it nicer than others would. I do not like over-powering equipment. And often I have to cut hay in short windows between rains and want to use the lightest tractor I can cutting hay anyway on wet fields. I have alfalfa hay with a decent amount of orchardgrass mixed in.
Obviously, your 6105D is listed at 87 horsepower so you would running less power than me, but I would not be afraid to use it. If you have to go a little slower in thick crops that is not too concerning. There is a neighbor of mine that has a New Idea version of the same discbine and he runs it on his John Deere 7210 all the time. Especially considering that, you should be ok.
I am including a photo of my 3312. This was a very thick and mature first crop during a very wet year. I had to resort to cutting before the skies cleared out after rains that year (actually sometimes before the rains cleared too).
