Reed, I did a lot of research before deciding on a mower for my Ford 3600 diesel (34hp, 40hp PTO). All of the major manufacturers have specs. for their mowers and most have websites. You will have to research as I did and find a model that fits within the catagory of your Massy. Once I figured out which mowers my 3600 would handle, I opted for the largest hp gearbox available. I figured more "beef" more life, and ended up with a 90hp gearbox. Next I had to consider weight. Anything 900-1000 lbs was pushing the limit for my tractor without additional weight on the front end. My mower comes in at about 850lbs and is stable on uneven ground. Anything heavier and I would be pushing it. I have to agree with Ultradog on the width of the mower. I wanted a 6 footer for the additional mowing capacity, but as he said, anything outside the rear tires and you won't be able to scoot between trees very well. This is what I ended up with. Medium duty 60" cutting width 90 hp gearbox 2" cutting capacity 10 gauge deck 1/4" side skirts Weight 850lbs All that reasearch paid off, I am well pleased with my purchase. Good luck...
