I am looking to buy a tractor. Currently, I only have 1 acre, but plan to move in a few years to a place with at least 40 acres. (I don't want more than 5 to 10 acres to mow, however.) I have narrowed my choices down to the Kubota B3300SU (which has no mid PTO, so it is limited to a rotary cutter), the B3200HSD, and the B2920 (which I don't think is available, new, anywhere, unfortunately.) I like the fact that the B3300SU has 25 pto hp vs only 23 for the B3200HSD and 21 for the B2920. But, with the B3300SU, I would need a rotary cutter vs a mid-mount mower.
I know the old mid-mount mowers were a pain the install and remove, but the new ones are all drive-over and look super-simple to install. So, with that thought in mind, what are the advantages/disadvantages of the mid-mount mower vs a rotary cutter? In order to re-claim some of my property, I am going to have to clear up some weedy/overgrown areas, if this makes any difference. Also, in order to get to all parts of my present property, I don't think I would want a mower larger than 54 or 60 inches.
