I am looking to buy a decent sized brush hog for my JD3010 tractor. My tractor puts out about 55hp at the pto. Does anyone think this brush hog is too big for my tractor? When I look at it the implement seems huge. The previous owner claims he ran it just fine with a 50hp tractor before.

You should be just fine with a 3010. Here's a link to the spec sheet on the MD80s.

I used to pull a 7'r with a 35 HP JD, had to go low gear on thick stuff, no problems.I'm pulling a 7'r on the 5303 JD now, which is probably around 55 HP @ PTO, no problems with it either.
