Thanks for all the advice. In the end I went with TSC, they have a new "heavy duty" model the CountyLine Round Back Rotary Cutter 6 ft. Series 2 https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/countyline-round-back-rotary-cutter-6-ft-series-2-(black). I was able to order it for $1960. It is made by Tarter.

I know its not the heaviest implement, but I will try to take it easy. And it is heavier than the regular CountyLine cutter. In the end it was the best deal I could find locally. Had no luck with Craigslist or classifieds. Will let y'all know how I like it.

I think you made a good choice. Be sure to know what size socket you need to change the blades. Mine was an oddball size that took me awhile to find. I also had to get a bigger impact wrench to get the nut off. They are torqued on to something like 400 pounds if I remember correctly. I just get them as tight as I can with my bigger impact wrench and it's all good. Blades for me lasted about 3 years, but a bad hit on a stump can make them out of balance and the only solution is new blades.

That cutter may work for you, but it's a mile away from medium duty let alone heavy duty!!

Hi - How did this 6’ county line cutter work out for you? I am debating on this same one and would appreciate any feedback! Ty

As I mentioned earlier .... the "rounded profile rear" is a great benefit. The angled backs truly do bend much to easy when you try cutting in reverse and hit "anything" .... like a dirt bank.
I spent a few hours several times with a farm jack trying to get the deck "unbent" on my first cutter.

Just in case you need to see what a "quality" rotary cutter looks like, lol

I have the same cutter. What a outstanding implement. I run mine with a Kubota M7040 with 65 PTO horsepower. With 6 ft tall grass you need all of that power.

You said you want to buy as cheap as possible; check out your local Craigs List and Facebook marketplace for used stuff.
I once called, then visited a man who was selling a 7' HD rotary mower. When I saw it it knew it was too big and heavy for my MF135. It had been a state highway dept. piece of equipment and was it really great condition at a reasonable price.
I almost bought it to re-sell, but getting it home was a problem.
