Topic

Talked with Bush Hog engineer and I proposed that no load
(as in grass) power requirements were basically the same
for 11 and 15 foot tri deck turf mowers. Same gearboxes and
number of spindles.He agreed this was correct.I'm cutting
home owner type bluegrass lawn and would cut once or twice weekly so as not to let it get too long.Local dealer has used
15 footer on 970 john deere for maintaining their own 5 acres
with no problem.. With heavier grass of course load increases.
Drawbar weight while pulling 350 lbs..trailering 750 lbs..
Within specs..I think the 11 footer is best match but can get 15 footer 1500.00 cheaper.. both like new cond... decisions decisions..Both 540 pto so will work with 1070 J.D.

thanks guys for the help.. Mark D.
