Looking for suggestions from experience on which type of mounting, semi or pull type, might be best overall for rolling ground with small hills, a few shallow dips, and some flat ground. I have only ever used a 6ft three point Bush Hog 286 which has been a great cutter with my old 4140 Ford tractor. Definitely keeping the Bush Hog 286 for the tight areas around the timber, ponds and other really rough ground .
I bought a bigger tractor now, 3 year old New Holland TT75A (63 PTO HP), and I am thinking about a bigger cutter for the more open areas. Found a 4 year old Bush Hog 3210 pull type that has very little use on it for $6000, or maybe a little less if I can talk him down a little bit. I know the Bush Hog is a very tough cutter that will handle hitting fallen limbs and saplings that spring up here and there in my pastures. My biggest question is which type of mounting do I want?
I don't have any experience with semi mounted or pull type rotary cutters. Will a pull type follow the ground better? It would seem to me the semi mount would gouge the ground more in the dips and between hills, or am I wrong? I could save some money buying a semi mount over a pull type. What ever I get I will be keeping for a very long time.
Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
