All depemds on the gear box rating of the "rotary cutter" that the manufacturer says it can handle.
Example: Put a 40hp gearbox rated mower on a 50hp tractor and you can screw it up.(gearbox that is, if the shear pin doesn't break). Put it on a 40hp tractor and the pin should break (no harm done, if the pin breaks, to either tractor or mower). Less than 40hp tractor and you can screw the tractor up. It will break before the gearbox or shearpin. As long as the mower and tractor seem to be working without "loading up", it does not matter what the HP rating is. #2 bolts are generally used for the shearpin.
