I have a B7510 and am looking to buy an inexpensive rotary cutter. I should get a 4 ft one since that is the one that is the best fit for my tractor. But, a local dealer has a used 42" woods rotary cutter that is about half the price of the cheaper new ones that I am looking at (KK, Howse, Midwest).
I need to use it to reclaim/tame about 1.5 acres of wild overgrowth, mostly vines, thorn bushes, saplings, etc and a lot of 50 to 100 foot trees. And, I want to keep it tame until I cut enough trees to justify a day's rental of a decent size excavator to remove stumps and rocks. Ultimately, the plot will become more lawn.
Will the 6 inch difference really matter in my case and/or could a 42" cutter cut through thicker growth on my machine than a 48" RC? Which would you buy? This is my first experience with a rotary cutter.
