I’m really surprised just how capable a 45hp tractor can be. I’m asking you to bring that same tractor over to my place on a demonstration run. If it can handle what I have to mow I just might buy it so there will be no need to take it back to your store. DEAL ??? I’d like to seed you a video clip of some of my property. Some will be over the hood of the tractor. Let’s do it.
Most people only see size of cutter/weight ratio to tractor. That is true, but a 8' twin spindle takes less hp to run than a 7' etc. I've run a 8' on a 50hp tractor all day and never phased it in tall thick grass, but a 6' or 7' will push it hard. It's more of a weight issue than hp.
