Been reading thru all the posts on the various applications for the TC. Although it is probably a stretch ($$$) I keep thinking that a TC would be a great tool for me.
In addition to the various tasks I could use the TC for around the property, I need to mow about 30 acres of pasture once or twice a year and about 30 acres of CRP once a year. The CRP, consisting mostly of 1' to 2' tall grasses should be mowed 10-12". Basically it is mowed to control noxious weeds and trees from developing an size.
I read one thread that has a link to a mower that would operate up to 3' high but I don't imagine bouncing around with a 1000+lb mower suspended in the front would be a good long term solution. I currently use a JD 4010 ag tractor with a 7' Woods rotary mower on the 3-pt. That mower is suspended when mowing at the height but that tractor is built for it.
Any thoughts or experiences with my mowing requirements?

In reading the threads on mowers I don't see much discussion or info on mowing at this height.
