Best 5ft rotary cutter for JD 3320?

[ArtVandelay]

What would be the best 5ft rotary cutter for the JD 3320? And would the FEL need to on or off for the best ride while cutting with it? I will be cutting 9 acres of pasture with a lot of Reed Canary Grass on it. The soil is mostly clay.

Thanks.

The best one is the one you get the best deal on.

That said, I have a Land Pride I'm quite happy with. I've ran it hard and it's held up well. I expect to get many more years service out of it.

Art,
Roy is correct... but I would like to add that light duty cutters seem to take less HP to run, and medium duty take more, and heavy duty even more.... Even if they are all 5 foot units....

Not that your tractor is light on HP, but I would look into what you are cutting, and if it is not heavy brush, a light duty might go through the tall grasses easier than a Heavy Duty.....

You might get by without the FEL with a light duty. I have the deere MX5 for my 3720, and I use it on the 5303 sometimes... I like to have the FEL on it, but it is not needed.... It just feels better to me.

There are a lot of deals out there on the LX models from deere, since they are discontinued.... Some of the prices are close to TSC...
