How many HP are needed to for what size deck (all deck sizes)? I am talking about enough HP for all the needs of a professional.

It really depends on several factors...

1) Rider or Walk Behind
2) Belt or Hydro
3) Weight of User (Riders and Walk Behinds with Sulky/Velke)
4) Types of grasses mowed
5) Mowing Conditions

These are my suggestions, only if the manufacturers followed them!!!

21 = 6
32 = 12.5-14
36 = 14
48 = 17-19
52 = 19-23
60 = 23-27
72 = 25-40+

AArrrgghhh AArrrgghh...More POWER

OK, GrassRoots,

1) Rider
2) Hydro
3) Around 150 lbs.
4) Centipede
5) Dry and level
