Ddmoit, You might want to consider looking at a subcompact tractor (JD1000/2000 series) like Bikerdib mentioned. They are much more versatile than a mower and they aren't that much more expensive when you consider all that you can do with one.
The mowers you are looking at are finish mowers, for the work you will be doing a rotary cutter or bush hog is probably needed. I have a 4 acre field i was cutting with a husky 48" ZTR and 54" husky rider. i would have to cut it every 4-5 days to keep it manageble, otherwise it would take 8 hours with multiple cuts trying to get it knocked down.
