old skool rule is no wider than width of 'track' ( wheel spacing ), so a 48"+- would be chosen. I know, 54 is 'only' 6" more but depending on soil conditions 'heavy, hard,etc_ it could be too much for the lil beastie.
I run a 5' offset tiller behind my D-14(40HP) with 6' track. On some fields it ain't 'happy', loves the veggie garden though...LOTS of compost and 'tilthe' !
