Going to go look at a 7' Alamo Flail mower tomorrow. I had a 5' brush hog but recently got rid of it with plans to replace with a 6' unit. I had thought about a flail mower in the past but the price of them along with the cost of repairing / replacing the many blades steered me away. This one came up and price looks good. Is the Alamo brand good? Is it easy to get parts for? I will be using it to keep about two acres of field tamed back along with hitting the trails in the woods. I'm concerned about the branches that fall along the trail that the brush hog has no issue with. How will a flail mower handle them? I have rocks as well that I am trying to remove but seam to reappear out of nowhere. I like the offset for getting the sides of the trail but seems excessive to me? Guy says the blades are in good shape and mows well...what do I look for in the blades? He is asking $575
