I am looking at purchasing a new rotary cutter, my question is weather a 8n ford is powerful enough to utilize a 6' foot cutter?

I have a 4ft for my 8-N and it does fine most of the time, however it will bog down when cutting tall grass (2-3 ft tall). Suggest the 4ft'er unless the grass you are cutting is short.

I would also recommend a slip clutch for your PTO shaft, this will prevent your tractor from being propelled forward by the momentum of the turning blade when you push in the clutch while mowing.

I was told that for every foot of cutter you have you should have 5HP. It also depends on what you are cutting.
