At 50 pto hp... you can easily run a 7 foot or even an 8 foot. I run an 8 foot with a ford 4000 at 52 pto hp and works very well for moderate fields.
Anytime you clear new fields with large brush, any shredder is too big and your tractor is too fast. However if its fields you control and mow fairly regular, you will do well with an 8 footer.
Seven ft wide shredders are a bit rare, and usually cost as much as an 8 footer around here. 5 and 6 footers are cheap and common as fleas. So these factors may factor in you selection. As I work on shredders all the time, its not unusual to have to cut off the blade bolts with a torch and replace them, but they run around 25 bucks a piece so I try hard to save them or sharpen in the shredder if everything else is ok. Blades are never to be knife edge sharp, only sharpened down to the edge thickness of a dime or nickel. Otherwise you will break off the edges. You want to simply concentrate the cutting force into a small area, but a strong edge is a must.
Getting a shredder that sticks out past the wheels means the wife will remove all your gates, fence posts and trim a few trees. So choose wisely.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
