Randy..... ....In general, 8N's will handle 5' brushogs' just fine. And you'd be surprized at how clever you get at "waggin' the hog" you get to get under your trees. Of course, brushog's don't know the difference between tall grass and small trees, so ya gottta be a littlebitt carefull if its a young orchard. If'n its a mature orchard, and toward harvest time, the fruit ladden branches might wanna knock ya off yer seat. learn to duck? fast. You will need an Over Running Coupler (ORC) on your PTO shaft. Its a 1-way device that prevents all that rotory inertia from backfeeding thru the PTO into the tranny and driving your tractor foward when you clutch to slow down to go around the apple tree, the corner of the barn, fence post, irrigation canal, creekbank, wifes car (don't ask). $60 US cheap. Also comes in 2-sizes to match your 1-1/8 PTO to modern 1-3/8 Brushog PTO, or 1-3/8 PTO to 1-3/8 brushog PTO..... ....HTH, Dell
