My wife and I just purchsed 23 acres and plan on building a new house on the property. Right around the house I will cut the grass with a lawnmower and hope to have a good looking lawn/yard.
We have about 5 acres that is overgrown with weeds that used to be a pasture and still has a lot of pasture grass under the weeds. I would like for this to look a good as I reasonably get it but I am not sure if I need to purchase a rotary cutter or finish mower. I have a 3930 tractor. Man at Kubota dealership said that I would probably go throught 5 sets of blades in one season if I try to keep this area cut with a finish mower. (I think I would probably cut it every 2-3 weels)
My question is this, would a regular bush hog do a "good enough" job with this so that the field looks good or would I need to get a finish mower? Is the Kubota guy right that I would go through that many blades in a season? What is the relative cost of a bush hog vs a finish mower? Would a 6 ft finsih mower be what I should use if I go that route?
Rest of property is woods and I would probably not try to keep this area cut.
Thanks
