the 255 should work good with a 6-ft rotary mower, if the gearbox can handle it. Some light-duty mower gearboxes only handle about 40 hp or so. Find out your mower manufacturer's specs. I've got a MF 165 that has similar engine as your 255. I use a Landpride 6-ft rotary mower and it works great. A 7-ft mower may add a lot more front weight, depending on the mower make, so if you got hilly ground you'll probably want to add front weights if you don't have a loader. Some Masseys seem to be nose light, and it ain't no fun feeling nose light while 'hoggin hills. good luck
