Hi... 2 1/2+ acres to mow... flat... few obstacles... 25 PTO HP compact tractor... mow every three weeks or more... 6-8" tall sometinmes 24"... wet or dry... previous hay field... gotta' mow when I'm there... it's out-of-state... go there for the weekend... Looking for advice/opinions/knowledge of 3-point-hitch rear-discharge finish mower decks... got prices on Deere/Frontier... Woods... Landpride... so far... have not seen any of 'em... Some are "residential" use... more $$$ for non-residential... I like to over-buy and under-use... if the price difference isn't too much... I'll guess they are fairly similar in performance... but wonder on price differences... Residential... Landpride Woods Deere/Frontier(made by Woods) Model $$$ ...out of time ! Dave...

Update... Now... my research turns to a smaller-cut (44" - 48") lawn tractor for the trimming work... Dave...
Welcome back Dave.
My Neighbor across street mows 5+ Acres of lawn and Christmass trees. He stoped using Lawn- Garden tractors, because the Blades and spindles were always damaged by Roots, stumps and rocks. He has been using Gravely comercial walk behinds for many years now, with only a ocasional damaged blade. Do you have any obstacles that may get hit?? I know the Northern Tool catalog usually has a tow behind rough cut mower that is made for tougher tawn trimming.
