I love my Woods Brush Bull but if I could do it over I would get a flail mower.........much more compact, does not throw stuff as much but I was new at this as well when I started.
Which model Kubota? 85 hp on the engine or on the pto?
Hawkline makes a 7-ft BH with a 75hp gearbox that might be a good match for your Bota

I have a 6-ft Hawkline model RC72HD50 (50 hp gearbox) that I run on my Mahindra 5525 (54hp engine, 45 hp pto). Cost: $1150 new.

If you spend a little time looking at the Rotary Cutter Section of the Woods website, you'll notice that the gearbox HP ratings go up with duty rating more than with size. For example a lighter duty 7' rotary may have a 90 hp gearbox where the heavy duty 7' has a 200 hp box. Gearbox power rating is all about ruggedness and design margin - which translates to machine life and survivabilty of the occasional insult (read large rock). If your place is machine-friendly then a light duty will be ok. If it has more hazards you'll want more beef.
Hey Keyser, welcome to the board! A question, your name rings a bell, did you used to be an on line gamer? Does Outlaws ring a bell? I used to be DeadFlat in a few on line FPS games.
