Welcome to TBN! :thumbsup:
As others have mentioned, it might be a very good idea to rent a machine to see how you like it. Money well spent. Also, if you can, find someone with a tractor and spend an afternoon with them talking about what it will do, how well it does, pros and cons.... doesn't matter what size or brand it is, just get some feel for how things work.
As for HST transmissions.... good choice! There's MANY threads on here about the pros and cons of that, and HST vs Gear transmissions.... just do some searches, grab a beverage (or two) and read for several days.
We have about 20 acres that we maintain. We started off with a used, huge industrial tractor-loader to get the large tasks knocked out, then sold it and downsized to a much smaller, yet more practical unit for maintaining the place. Lots of ways to go. Used has its pros and cons. So does new.
Don't skip the Kubota or Kioti brands. Give them all test drives. Good luck in your search.
Question about why a flail mower VS a rotary? Just curious.
