Rotary Cutter Right size rotary cutter for a Kubota L4400

I am new here, but not to tractors and cutter use.

My experience is that a cutter wider than my tractor track, in among'st trees, "will" get me trapped. It's hard enough with a cutter just a little narrower than the tires.

Also, I don't want the frame work of a cutter "under" the deck. This set-up will trap objects between the blades and frame. I want the underside of the deck smooth, so larger objects can easily be slung out. I also, want a cutter with deep sides, for the same reason.

I don't know what the PTO HP is on your tractor, but for a 50 HP out-put tractor I recommend medium duty cutter in 6' or heavy duty cutter in a 5'.

My brand of choice is "Rhino"

I have a Massey- Ferguson 255. I just bought a Rhino 172 cutter for it.

I turn the mower upside-down and sharpen the blades w/ an angle grinder 2x/ season.

Just curious, how do you turn the mower upside down? I would like to do that to sharpen the blades but don't want to damage anything.

I have a Kubota L4400 and I use a medium duty King Kutter Rotary mower and the tractor handles it very well I would not hesitate to put a 6 foot mower behind your machine. Mine is a Hst model and if by chance you think it is bogging down (I have only experienced bogging down in tall thick hay)just roll back on the pedal and slow down a bit. I have been satisfied with the machine so far, but I only have 66 hours on it up to this point.
