Never been around a case mower.

For what you are referencing I would suggest a heavy Woods or Rhino. Make sure it has the stump jumper in it. A round plate that the blades attach too. Some have a bar and others just use the blades. These two styles won't ride over objects as easily as the round disk risking damage if you hit a stump or rock. Also make sure you use a slip clutch or shear pin with right hardness pin in it to prevent damage to tractor. If useing the slip clutch after it has set for a couple months without use loosen the bolts and slip it to make sure it's not stuck.
