7ft hog on IHC 300U

Posted by gwb on August 31, 2004 at 12:13:20 from (65.202.158.66):

Got an IHC 300 Utility with a nice fresh
engine and 3-point, supposedly making 38.16 HP
@ 1750 RPM at the PTO.

A 6-foot bush hog is just about as wide as the wheels. I"m thinking a 7-footer would be nice to have for skirting along the pasture fences without getting the wheels too close.

Mostly mowing pasture grass that is under 6 inches.

Do I have sufficient HP to spin it nicely?

Is the oddball size going to give me grief when it comes to parts, etc?

Would anyone suggest looking at an 8-footer?

Looking for that "sweet spot" of time versus quality of cut and not overloading the machine.

Thanks in advance.

Greg
