You are looking for us to give you an excuse to buy bigger? It is the operator that overloads a machine. Your tractor will only produce the full 55 HP with full throttle and the governor wide open as well. The machine should be protected against over-torque by the shearbolt. You could run it on a 150HP tractor if you wanted. It is the inexperienced or thoughtless operator that would overload the machine. The bigger problem is not having enough power available to drive the machine, overloading the tractor and then the machine, as it will lose rotational speed energy and not cut efficiently. Remember, you can own a Ferrari but don't have to drive everywhere at 150mph! RAB
