450D vs 6' shredder

Posted by Bill46 on March 30, 2005 at 10:02:40 from (63.65.68.246):

Got a stupid question. But I want to ask before I spend the money.
I have a 450D my dad had before he died. I brought it to Texas to just fix up...but work it when I needed it. It has an after market 3 point on it and independant pto.
I am considering buying a 6' shredder (bushhog) to mow a pasture. No real heavy stuff, just knock down the tall weeds and saltgrass.
Will the tractor have the HP to pull a 6' shredder and will I need weights on the front to hold it down. I am looking at a new Bushhog, not the best grade...but decent.
The tractor runs good, dad just overhauled it 3 years ago, but it needs to be pulled a little and cleaned out. Be better to run it a little hard than just loafing around loading up.
I am more used to 300U and 350U tractors.
Please give me your thoughts.
Thanks
