What RPM should you bush hog at?

To brush hog, all you do is engage the PTO. It may be button or lever activated if fully independent. On certain tractors, however, you may have to push the clutch down and move a lever, then gradually let up on the clutch. You want to be between 1200 and 1600 RPM’s when turning the PTO on.

How much horsepower do I need for a 10 foot bush hog?

I’d say in MOST conditions, you’d want 60 to 65 hp at a minimum. Grass and weeds will put more pto load on the tractor than brush and saplings in most cases. But with a 10 ‘ mounted mower, more critical than HP, you need a good heavy tractor. Even with ligher duty mowers, a 10 ‘er will pack a few pounds onto the hitch.

What RPM should I run my tractor at?

As far as running under loadas others wrote, you won’t hurt the engine running at a higher RPM, but you can hurt an engine by too low an RPM (lugging). I never run mine below 1500 RPM and more if necessary. There’s only two times I reduce RPM down to a low idle when engaging the PTO and when disengaging the PTO.
