Was wondering what size brush hog to run on my b7510. 21 hp motor 17 hp at the pto.
Depends upon what you plan to cut, how quickly you hope to travel while cutting, and weight of cutter.

Recommend reading equipment limitations in your Operator's Manual.

My recommendation: Nothing larger than 48" and not exceeding maximum recommended cutter weight (not lift capacity) in manual.

I have an older john deere 5fter on my lx2610 which is 25hp. Some members were saying it was too big and heavy for my Kubota. I used it to cut marsh grass and cat tails,plan on corn stalks next spring. I start out in an open area, have the rear of the mower tilted up, in L, and have the front loader on. I creep along making sure it chops everything up nice and I don't come across any obstacles. Only once did I have an issue bogging down. With a 5ft mower it's as wide as my tractor but I'm running over what I want to mow. Some guys get a 4ft to straddle what they need to mow. I just mow a 10 foot trail that takes 15 minutes so speed is no factor for me. If you have a large area and have a heavy foot something smaller like a 4ft would probably be best. On hunting forums I see alot of pictures and videos of guys using brush hogs as bull dozers trying to mow down 6 inch diameter trees........then they wonder why their stuff isn't working.

Do you have a quick hitch on your Kubota? If so you'll need this adapter to let the mower float.
