J Bar 5ft HD rotary cutter 1st impression

[marknga]

I have been shopping for a rotary cutter. I bought my 2006 L4400D last fall and it had a Befco finishing mower with it. Our 11.5 acre lot that we will be building on has about acre and half field and the rest is wooded. As I shopped around for rotary cutters I found pricing all over the place. Really didn't want to spend 2K on a rotary cutter, that once I clean up the underbrush won't probably be used but once maybe twice a year. My neighbor had bought a refurbished Ford tractor with a J Bar 4 ft rotary cutter on it and I was impressed.
Yes I know get what you pay for but my first impression is that it will be just fine at about half or less than a Titan, Bush Hog or Land pride.
As I was looking online I couldn't much about the J Bar ( they are made here in Ga.) so I thought I share my experience.

Looks like it is doing the job just fine for you.
