Sorry to bring this up again but I won't sleep until I know :roll:
I think this is my kinda mower in the link (seems simple enough). Question is, the website says minimum 28HP for the 165 (which is the most common and best price I have found). Question is, my tractor is 26HP diesel (8N size and not a new compact). Think it could handle it? Biggest place I'd be mowing is 2 acres and the rest are smaller, speed not being a real issue because it would have to be faster and easier to use than the sickle mower. Thanks for any advice.

Comparing the mowers in the link, the one recommended for me (135) is 12" shorter and 150 pounds lighter than the 165 that I am looking at. I forgot to mention that I have a front loader frame that will be putting about 80 pounds on the oposite corner and, if the mower does the job, will be taking another hundred pounds or so off the right side by removing the sickle mower. Would this and filling the left rear tire take care of me?

Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
