You're going to be low on power for a 72 inch deck in all but the shortest of grass. The Tri-King is basically a newer model Turf-King with hydraulic drive reels instead of the older belt driven mechanical reels. A reel mower usually cuts grass very often so it never gets too tall. The hydraulic motor for turning them is a pretty small aluminum housing. A motor for a 72 inch rotary is a large heavy duty motor and probably cast iron. A reel won't need near the torque or h.p. that a rotary needs. Also a belt driven pump could slip under load. I don't think you'll have enough oil flow. Go to a Jake or Toro commercial dealer and get some literature on new mowers. It should have some specs. for what you need. Also talk to the mechanic. Golf course equipment are huge users of hydraulics because of the simplicity in designing around it. Do you have the original reels? If your grass is fairly nice with no dirt or pebbles etc. a reel could still work for you. Dave

I thought of this later. My customers have some 6 foot rotaty choppers. They run them with a Commercial P-51 pump. Your little diesel will not do it. They take about 30 horsepower the way they run them.
