I have used 5 foot, 6 foot and 7 foot wide brushhogs on my IH504 over the years. Clipped the pasture on my Parent's dairy farm with the 5 footer, wasn't wide enough, took too much time. Borrowed a friend's 6 footer, this mower matched up with my 504 very well! The width of cut was close to the outside width of the rear tires. Used another friend's 7 foot wide Howse brushhog and had to put 1000 pounds of suitcase weights on the front bracket of the tractor just to get it on my trailer without back-tipping! Only did that once and went back to the lighter, more efficient 6 foot cut mower. I still use about 500 pounds of weights on the front end to stabilize the 504 on hills. Hope this helps! Don
