[QUOTE="B&M Farms, post: 1031617, member: 15666"] I am shopping for a disc mower before my next cutting and need a little help. I have a Kubota M5640 tractor with a FEL and water in the tires. Its 56hp. I was using a 7' Kuhn that just isn't worth fixing anymore and had to finish with my sickle. I stopped by the local tractor dealer to price some cutters today and they carry Krone cutters. I was looking at a AM 243 S that is 7'11" and 1146lbs. The salesman that sold me the tractor last year is trying to tell me I can pull a AM 283 S that is 9'2" and 1333lbs. (Maybe because he has them there already). The advertised HP requirements are 55. I could handle the 7' Kuhn no problems but I'm not sure about the 9' Krone. I will be cutting Bermuda and Bahia grass and it isn't super hilly here. Any advice on which you would go with? [/QUOTE]
