a 5055E and a HX6 cutter - you'll not regret either. On hilly ground, 4 wheel drive gives 4 wheel brakes. It's expensive but this is machinery you only have to buy once. The HX series cutters will cut anything the tractor can run over, and more if you back over it. Both machines are iron that you'll work with, and not work on too much. I bought a 709 cutter some years ago, and it has about a 3 1/2 inch solid output shaft. I think it has 3 or 4 inch rated capacity of cut, and that's published diameter! I cried over it, but I only cried once.
While I will agree the HX6 is a good heavy duty cutter the OP stated in his opening thread that there were a few saplings about 1" in diameter, an HX6 is a little overkill considering his tight budget. Cutting his small pastures with any cutter should work after the first initial clearing. In the OP's case he may never benefit from the expense of an HX6.
