Yes, might be grunting with a conditioner on it though.

I have a Kuhn disc mower,without a conditioner and the user manual that came with it says that it requires a minimum 58hp.

What tractor is it? 65hp will be enough power if it has the weight and size for stability.

7ft on 36hp from a job I did couple years ago.
was only thing we could get in the job. Went well

I had a mf 362 and used an 8ft kuhn mower no problem.

 

[celtis man]

I'd guess you would have to go steady in a big crop
Pretty sure I know someone who used a 8ft on 80hp

Thanks everyone for your replies. It's an Iseki TG6675 so I am a bit worried about the weight but does have 350kg weight up front do you think that'll be okay?

The rolls Royce of compact tractors.
What mower is it? I’d think it would be fine

It will be fine. Don’t expect to do 10mph thou. Try not to overload the tractor. Make sure the radiator is clean and keep the revs at pto speed. If it starts pulling the engine down bring it down a gear or two. Plus side is you won’t be slipping belts or slip clutches.

Level ground?

 

[tjeavis]

Perfect cheers everyone. It's level ground and the tractor is in good condition so think I am going to get an 8ft and give it a go.

That iseki will play with an 8ft mower.

Used to run a 10’ kuhn on 80hp. Big, flat fields could mow at 30k in a nice young ley. So can’t see a problem with 8’ at a sensible speed.

Although they'll help it's not so much the front weights it's the left hand side rear wheel that will feel lightish but on level ground should be ok. Just check the wheel track is at a sensible width
