what size bush hog

deere755 · May 15, 2011

I was thinking I would buy a 6 ft bush hog for my 4700 4wd but after looking at them I am leaning towards a 5 ft. What do most of you use behind a 4700? I don't think mowing will be as big of an issue as lifting a 6 ft mower.

Your tractor is more than enough for a 6' bush hog.

No issues with a 6 foot Frontier RC 1072 on a JD 3520.

Its been busy around here so this is the 1st chance I have had to say thanks for all the replies. I took everyones advice and bought a 6 ft. KK swivel hitch and love it. Tractor handles it great. I still miss the 755 and the 4ft mower but the 6ft on the 4700 is a lot faster. Thanks again for all the advice. The salesman at the Bush Hog dealer recomended a 5 ft. Glad I didn't listen to him. Of course he sells blue tractors so maybe 48hp isnt enough for a 6ft in blue LOL. I had to throw that in.
