I have a New Holland model 1520 Compact Tractor with a front end loader and would like to purchase a light duty brush mower. It has turf tires all around and is a little over 5'accross the back tires 19hp at the PTO . I was told a 4' deck would prove to be a better fit. The thought was to get in and out of tight areas in wooded areas? And thoughts or comments welcome.

First, I would be real hesitant to take turf tires into the woods, paricularly where you are going to be brush hogging. Those turf tires have a way of attacting anything that can puncture a tire. I think you could probably get away with a 5" brugh hog if you understand that there will be times when you will have to run in lower gear and slower to give the rotary mower time to work. I would suggest that you check out one of the lighter duty mowers from tractor supply or somewhere like that. The King Kutter is a lightweight unit that your tractor should have no problem pulling. Just my two cents.

Between a front end loader and a bush hog, that tractor is going to get real long in tight spaces in the woods. If you must get a pull type rotary mower, I would lean toward a 5 foot for better mowing close to fences. A better option, if available, would be a belly mower.

You probably could get by with a 5 footer and it would allow you to get close to fences than the four footer. If you're just going to cut grass you should be fine with 5 foot.

I sure would not go any bigger if you'll be running around and in between trees. Probably be easier on that size of tractor too.
