How much horsepower?

[split toe]

How much do I need to run a 15ft batwing bush hog?

I've seen recommendations as low as 60 hp minimum. In practical terms it depends what your are mowing. I'm sure 60 would work for regular mowing of a low growing clover. 80 may be more appropriate for grass that is knee high or so. You may want 100+ for waist high thick grass or anything woody.

Thanks,
