A good way to find out this info is to go to Kubota.com and look at the attachment reommendations from the company, not that their site is all that friendly about mower recommendations.
If you have the 80 PTO HP model you should be able to easily carry a 10 foot rotary mower or larger, but you're talking some big bucks. The 3pt hitch is listed as a category II, everything is going to cost more than a compact tractor. They consider the M9000 a utility tractor.
As for most implements you buy for that model, you're going to want attachments that are a little wider than the rear so that you can get up along fence lines, and building etc.

Okay Sparkkky, we're not going to do ALL your thinking for you!
/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif You know it depends on how wide the trailer is you're buying right? Measure whatever mower from the connector to the end of the tail wheel and side to side. If it's too wide to sit IN the space on the trailer, you'd have to sit it up on the sides with some hanging over if it's very wide.
I'd think you want one that doesn't hang over the sides too much.

What kind of ground are you intending to mow?
Flat & wide open allows wide mowers. Sharp slopes & rough ground is best done with a skinny mower - it will scalp & miss less grass and be less of a beating on the machinery & operator.
My mower is a ancient JD Gyramor 227 slip clutch drag type that cuts 66" wide pulled with a 10,000 lb MFWD tractor. It has taken me 8 hours to mow 5 acres. But now that I know where most of the drop-off's and large holes are I don't hang fron the seat belt as much /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
