Will this work?

I think alot of it has to do with skill of the driver, and the tractor an bushhog in question. I used a realitively light hog.. a 5' KK, and a light tractor.. a ford 8n. With the blades sharp on the hog, and 1st or 2nd gear mowing.. i could cut a lawn to 2". Looked nearly as good as would have with my rider lawnmower.. nat as good.. but nearly. If the tractor were heavier.. or the mower heavier, I think there may have been issues. Also.. some HD cutters have large side skids that make gouging and scalping an issue, as well as not neing able to cut very low.

I have both a 5' rotary, and a 6' rear finish mower neither does a satisfactory job on the lawn we desire to look the best.
because of the tractor weight a TC-30, fel, loaded R4's
We use a CC lawn tractor 48"" deck for the front yard and about 50' around the other 3 sides of the house. Then I use the 5' rotary with sharpened blades for the balance of the back/side lawn. 300' by 550' cut weekly with this system,
I cut the back field 300' by 600' monthly with the same rotary cutter. RFM is just a backup for now.
