    Id say you would want 100hp anyhow . We have a 9ft on a 956xl and you would know the weight of it on one side of the tractor .

    No conditioner on ours . Id say an 885 might be a bit light for it but a smaller mower would be grand all the same

    I've ran a Class disco 2650 2.6m mower on a 82-90 Fiat, no problem with weight so work from there.

    If you have hilly land, thats when you need a tractor with a bit of weight, on level land you would get away with a smaller tractor
