It all depends on what you are cutting. If you cut dairy quality alfalfa that is knee high when cutting it takes very little power. If you cut neck high mix of legumes and grasses for beef or horses, it will eat a 100 HP tractor alive. My JD discbine is considered 10.5 ft. So it is safe to call it a 10 footer. If I use 110 HP I can sail at the speed you could run, but drop down to 90/95 HP 4020 now you are at walking speed if it gets heavy. I have two 4020s One will handle it in heavy hay in 5th, Powershift one will not loose power, but will get hot if it is 80Degrees or more. I can cut with my 2950A little faster than you can run, but it also will get hot after 30 min or so. Hp requirements are dependent on the lay of the land, and how heavy your hay is. Will a 856 handle one, heck yes. Maybe not as fast as my 1086, but it will do a fine job, just a gear or two slower. Al
