Less than 20 PTO horsepower if HST. Kubota says max 60" and 770 pounds

In light conditions and level fields maybe. Up and down hills with heavy growth it will be a teal struggle. You will be much better off with a smaller cutter or a bigger L01.

Farmall C handles a 72 inch belly mower in first and second gear. Looks nicer in first ger

Thanks, I ended up buying a used Land Pride 3-point finish mower 72 inch. Pulls it fine in 4 low but need to run slower to keep from tearing up grass when turning.

I Have a Woods 72" rear discharge finish mower on an L3901. In mid range it bogs down on steep grades but otherwise works fine. I had it on a 17HP B7200DT (6F) for many years and it was 2nd gear or lower. All depends on how much you are willing to tolerate.

The Woods has 4 solid rubber caster wheels and no lawn damage at any speed.....

My mower has 4 casters also, the front tractor tires are what tears up the grass if I am going too fast. Low 2 or 3 works fine just not 4 low when cornering.

I bought a well used LP 72" 20 years ago. My equally tired 8n handles it with no problems.
