I should have updated this thread.
Fall of 2020 I bought a used DR rough cut mower. It has a a brush cutter (36") and a small
chipper attachment. I got a great deal and love the cut and performance. Its got the Kawasaki 15HP V twin engine and a scary amount of power. It will climb anything it can't chop down!
All that said, its a beast and it has bested me more than once. I'm a big guy (nearly 300lbs, 6'2") and can really muscle things around. But operating this on side slopes (cutting old orchards) is a bear. For one, it has a differential or limited slip, but no split brakes. So I have to hold it steady on the slope, but when it encounters holes, it looses traction and stops and bucks. It takes me about 2 hours to mow an area about an acre in size. And I am literally spent.
For level areas, I love it though. The cut is great, its fast, and it gets into tight areas. The
chipper is also a great tool. Not as robust as a 3pt unit, but better that a stand-alone homeowner job.
