Is $950 a fair price for a new JD 513 Rotary Cutter with slip clutch? I plan to mount this on my JD 4100. Will the 5' cutter be too much for the 4100 or will it handle it OK. Comments appreciated.

I do not have the 4100, but do own a 750 which is sort of the predecessor to it. The 750 is rated at 21 engine hp, I believe that the 4100 is about 20 engine hp. Anyway, they are close in size, weight, and power. Mine will handle a 5 foot hog, but I run a very heavy (450lbs) 4foot Land Pride on it instead. The 4foot LP will make the front end come up off the ground when the lift is up, and I am driving up a slightly steep incline. Makes it very tricky. I even have about 200lbs of weight hanging on the front end too. I can imagine how much worse it would be with a 5foot bh hanging of the back that weighed about 10-20% more than a 4 foot. Now, if you have fairly level land, and you don't let the grass get very high, then the 4100 will probably handle it ok. My 4 foot bh will bog the 750 motor down in real heavy tall grass/weeds, so a 5 foot will be even more strain on it. JD only recommends 4 foot implements for the 750, and suspect that the 4100 might be the same. You might check with your JD dealer and see what they think. Can't help you with the price, though.

A 4ft is recommended for the 4100. I recently purchased a 513 for my 4200 and paid $785. The 413 was aroung $725. ....
