John, your t20 will drive a topper no problem, I've seen them with 6ft ones on the back, but my view is that 5ft is the ideal size, they can handle the weight (not too light on the front end) and they are about the same width as the tractor, meaning you can fit through quite tight gaps between trees. Any narrower you cannot get to the edge of things because your wheels are wider than the mower. With t20s you have 3 functional issues to deal with.
1. The pto shaft is smaller than standard. There are a number of ways to over come this, give me a shout if you are not aware.
2. The pto is live drive, difficult to explain what this means, there is a thread in equipment about this, basically can be made better by the fitting of an over run adaptor.
3. The hydraulics have only depth control, not position control as on later models eg the 35. This means you cannot hold the topper at the right height with the hydraulic controls, again. There are a number of options to solve this issue.
I don't know if you know this stuff, if you need further info just let me know.
Cheers. Stu
