We bought a new JD HX-15 15' flex wing mower this summer that we use on a 1066. The 1,000 rpm pto is the only way to go on a tractor that size as it has too much power for a 540. The hp is not what will tear up the mower drivetrain, torque is and the fast a shaft turns the less torque it has so the 1,000 will hold up much better. We bought a new mower since the used ones we saw were beat to death and weren't much cheaper than new ones. My first choice would have been a Bush Hog, they have the heaviest gear boxes and have a 5 year warranty compared to Deere and Wood's 2 year. I have heard of alot of gear box problems with Woods and they are 1,000 lbs lighter than the Deere. Our Deere does a great job and I've even used it on our back yard with good results. The Deere has a domed deck which is supposed to prevent material from building up on it but as you can see it doesn't make much difference.
