That'll run most things  ? but more importantly wot you gonna chip ? Brushwood? Working on banks? Straight poles fr fuel chip?  Hand fed or machine grab? An how much you fancy spending?  K

60hp at the engine in a 165 is closer to 50 at the shaft i would think. Probably best to stay to 6" or so. Otherwise, getting a heavy rotor to start may be a little taxing and once going, it will slow down quite quickly, the 'No Stress' will cut in often and quickly and it may take a little longer to spin up to speed again. But with a 6" machine, you could conceivably run it in 1000 speed and reduce the rpm  - less noise, less fuel and less hassle!

MF 165 won't have 1000 rpm pto, What's your budget?
