Wilks, The wheelbase of a C with the wheels pushed in is about 5 ft 6 in. I cut about 6 inches off each axle so I wouldn't get into trees when mowing. The 5 ft mower was off set to the right and the left wheel would mash the uncut grass or you would have to mow so the freshly cut grass is always to your left.
The 6 ft mower I got off an IH H was also off set to the right and that was a problem because my trailer is only 6 ft and 3 inches wide and it wouldn't fit. I worked for about a week experimenting before I got the deck centered under the tractor. If you like, I'll take pics to show what I had to do.
There is still a problem. The 6 ft mower has skies on both sides that I have to remove to put it on my trailer.
As for the tractor handling it, I cut in first gear and have no problems. Plenty of hp. Each spring I roll and cut at the same time. It handles it just fine. My roller is 4640 pounds empty.
I also have a Jubilee with a woods RM660. When you turn left around a tree, the rear mount goes right and you have more to trim. I like the belly mount better for that reason. Also the rm660 concentrates the grass out one side. Belly mower gets rid of the grass out the back too.
The RM660 does a great job of taking leafs and throwing them to the neighbors yard.
