Im looking at a new holland workmaster 35. Price is really good to replace my old ford 3000. I have a 6-0 bushhog and a 7-0 international disc with 14 18 inch blades on front and 12 18 inch blades on back. The new tractor is 33 hp 4x4 with 28 hp at pto. Will it handle my implements??????
Food Plots 33 hp Tractor
- Thread starter muddyboots
- Start date
i would think it would work fine

Yes sir it should, but will certainly subject a good bit of strain on your tractor especially if there's any terrain, your soils are heavy/wet, or you're mowing heavy stuff. Watch your draft control, speed, and PTO rpm.

The rule of thumb I've always heard is a minimum of 5 PTO HP per foot of bushhog, so you are right on the borderline. It should be o.k. if you are just mowing grass/fields and it is not too thick, and your ground is fairly flat. Your disk should be o.k. as long as you don't angle the disk gangs too much - if you are trying to cut through pretty thick turf and thatch I don't think you will have enough tractor. Also, be careful hanging that much weight off the back of that small a tractor, especially if you don't have an FEL on the front. The small CUT's (compact utility tractors) have a very short wheelbase which does not do well with heavy 3 point hitch implements.
10-4 thanks.
