    Mark,

    I was just guessing 8 hp considering the trailing mowing machines on the market are using 5 hp Honda’s to power a 7′ sickle bar.

    I have a 8hp Honda I pulled off a snow blower that was scraped and use it for my wood splitter. Way more power than I need but it was free and in excellent condition.

    Here’s the address for Donn’s pics – there’s a file of his GD setup and his power forecart (and much more).

    If it is just for tedding you may be able to just hook the motor right up to the tedder?

    The Elmo Reed hitch cart had an engine that bolted as a unit (pto/engine/various neccessaties) in a cage format so if you didn’t need the engine with four bolts it could be lowered to the ground and the cart backed over it and out of the way.
