Bill, You get a better job if the brush hog is wide enough to cover out n mow at least the rear tire width PROVIDED you have the HP to run it at RPM as JD described. The HP depends on if youre really Brush Hogging like heavy thick down wet grass or brush n thorns or saplings orrrrrrrrrr finish mowing shorter grass. If finish mowing grass and the blades are kept sharp it dont take the HP that brush hogging tall weeds or heavy down fescue grass does. Regardless I still like it wide enough to cover out the rear tire width. A 6 ft hog ought to cover smaller tractor width depending on where the tire are set while it may take a 7 ft for a larger tractor. A 5 ft might do for a lil Ford or similar sized tractor and thats about all they have the HP to handle anyway...
