i have a 51 farmall m, wide front 3 pt hitch. i been using a woods rm 600 finish mower behind it. farm and fleet has the 5 or 6 ft king cutter brush mowers and i am looking at a 6 ft to cover the rear tires on the m. would the m have enough power to handle the 6 ft? i usually mow every couple of weeks so the waterway grass is not that high. any thoughts?

You should be OK with a 6' I use a 5' foot Kingkutter on on my 27 HP & it does a good job , I mow in 5 gear most of time , about 5 MPH .

I used to pull a 6 ft Brillion with the Super H. I could cut about anything I could drive over in 3rd gear, about 5 mph. But the cutter did a better job if I ran in 2nd. Chopping corrnstalks and clipping pastures I could run in 4th, about 6-1/2 mph if the stuff was less than a foot tall. Frankly, for an M I'd look for a 7 ft. My Buddy bought a new 8 ft BUSHHOG last year and now He's looking for a bigger tractor, His D-17 diesel won't hardly pull it. But He's clipping CRP on some REALLY steep hills.

I"ve mowed farms with a 9N Ford and a 6" rotary mower....of course I sharpened the blades almost daily. The hardest cut was opening up the field (if it was real heavy) and you would have to raise the mower up and cut high till you got around once...then you could lower it to about 5" and if it got too heavy just move out a little. Your M Farmall will handle the six footer good if it"s got any pep at all...and...you"re up away from the dust more than a little utility tractor. Fred OH

Your M should handle that application without too much trouble if it is running OK. You should have about 34 belt (PTO) HP going for you there.
