I would get a Kubota. They are less money and just as good if not better.
I have a total of 14 acres. 7 are field that the prior owner bush hogged. 1 acre is grass and I have riding mower for that. I figured that with the woods and the other things I plan on doing I would need a loader on the front. The neighbor told me the the prior owner bush hogged every other week. There are some small elevation changes but nothing outrageous.

I don't want to spend 5 hours mowing that is why I figured at least a 6 foot rotary cutter.

Thanks for all the help and input.
