What size rotary mower for a Farmall M?

Posted by Nathan in Texas on March 08, 2005 at 15:31:53 from (216.167.183.158):

Okay, I just bought a nice old M and am ready to buy a rotary mower for it.

Talking with people it sounds like a 5' is just too narrow and will not work well since the M's tires are wider. Most people say I need a 6'. I was looking at 7' and 8' models but they get REALLY expensive and heavy as well. Not sure how well the M would run something that big and heavy.

I have a thread going in implement alley right now on what brand to buy and you are welcome to help me with that decision as well, but basically I need to know what size to buy as well.

So what size should I get?

If you want to comment here on what brand this is my current choices locally and my ranking on my preference right now:

1 - 6' Cimarron - $850 (in stock)
2 - 6' King Kutter - $900 (in stock)
3 - 6' Howse - $800 (on order)
4 - 6' Armstrong - $800 (on order)
5 - 6' Rhino - $1,195 (in stock)
6 - 6' Bush Hog - Squealer - $1,450 (in stock)

Thanks, Nathan
