I have a 5' Woods rotary mower and would like to get one a bit bigger for my WD. I don't use the rotary mower for taking out trees or super heavy brush, just some selective mowing. What's the ideal size rotary mower for a WD tractor?

6 ft is about right... 7 would be too big unless your cutting every month.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

I have a 6' woods on mine. That's big enough.

As Steve said, a 7' would be crowding it to much if you got into some heavy stuff.

I pull a 7’ with my WD but I dont mow real low. It handles it fine.

One thing if you have a wider cutter you don't have to take a full cut,a 7ft cutter will cut a 5ft swarth just fine.
