4720 run a bush hog 307?

[tbd24]

i have a 4720 and i want to run my old bush hog model 307 7ft rotary cutter. its currently a 3pt hitch, however i can swap out the rear height adjustment arm with a piston and run it semi mount. so i want to know if this would be tough on the tractor turning that beast. i don't plan on mowing anything heavy with it, about 1.5 ft of grassy fields and some golden rod in the fall. TIA

Should not be a problem if it is Cat 1 and you have enough front end weights.
The tractor has enough power no problem.

I agree. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

Yeah, you might wanna get some weight for the front. I used my 4520 with a 6' KK 3-pt. brushhog the past two weekends and had some trouble turning on the hills. I already have filled fronts but I think I'm gonna get a few weights to hang on the front too.
