5245 with 7' Bush Hog

[breezy]

I am thinking about buying a 7' Bush Hog brand rotary cutter that weights about 1200 pounds. Will the Zetor 5245 have a enough power and front end weigh for rotary cutter this large on hilly slopes? Anyone had experience with heavy implements? Thanks for yor help .

absolutely no problem. A 5245 weighs about 3200 kg of which at least 1200 on the front.

a 1200 pound bush hog is only 600 kg, which is just a toy to the 5245
7 foot width... is 2,10 meter... We borrow our neighbours 2,80 meter 3 spinner pasture topper, the 5245 doesnt care if the brush is rough, only the 2 cylinder, 1500 kg, 25 hp 2011 (built in 1965) gets light up front, and struggles through thick brush.
Just try that 5245, it will exceed your expectations by far

I'm trying to read through the post and translate for myself your terminology. Is a 3 blade pasture topper a brush hog with 3 blades, would it have hydraulics like a batwing brush hog?

no, just a single deck with 6 blades on 3 shafts.
