I used a Super A and then a 140 with a belly mower for almost 20 years to mow my 5 acres. Until I moved. Sold the 140 to the guy that bought my place. As far as I know he is still using it.

Bigest disadvantage for you situation is the height going under the trees. You need all limbs trimmed off so you have at least 6 ft clearance under them. 7 ft would be better.
