As contractors we switched our Tractors over from batwings/rotary cutters to (Cosmo) flails about 15yrs ago - a Flail fitted Y blades will leave a superior grass finish (same with hammers on brush ) & satisfied customers to a rotary cutter.
We also run ZTs for smaller & detail areas but largely tractor mounted flails have displaced these as the customers are more happy with the economy/finish of flails - though we do keep super HD Bush Hogs to knock down dense bush.
Must admit I'd be rethinking using Ag tires as the slightest ground moisture may likely leave tire witness marks & create customer angst - R14s, industrial or only if require in wet areas high flotation tires - whatever you go with ensure you have PTO safety clutches rather than sacrificial shear pins unless you enjoy downtiem & changing out pins in the field....
