New to the forum with new JD4520

[Matney4520]

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum and new to the compact tractor society. I have a John Deere 4520 with FEL and fluid filled rear tires. My question is: I am looking to start mowing about 15 acres of alfalfa with my new machine and wondering if anyone runs a discmower with one of these tractors. I want to get the biggest mower that my tractor can safely handle. Any recommendations or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum and fellow 4520 owner.
I personally use a Woods 72" BrushBull with mine and the tractor could pull much larger.

I have pulled my 7ft BushHog with it, but I want to know if I can pull a larger disc mower. I have heard different things, from 7' to 9', and I just wanted some input from some member that have experience cutting hay with a 4520.
