Will a Woods BB60 (older model) rotary cutter be to much for a L2501 kubota?
This one is a model before the BB60/30/50

I think it'll work fine. You may be more comfortable with some front weight.

You’ll be fine. May not be able to go quite as fast as a fella with 40hp on his PTO, but it’ll do the job for sure.
