Need to touch up pastures after the horses are taken off to take out what they picked over and scatter poo a little alobg with any mole mounds that turn up now and then...
Have access to a heavy duty mulcher (flail mower with hammer knives??) but Murphy lives close by and I hate to borrow stuff and want to buy my own...
Options are : (3pt hitch) 5 or 6ft
Rotary mower (brushhog)
Flail mower with either Y or hammer knives
the drum mower I already have (just came to me as I'm typing this)
Would like the flailmower because it does a real neat job in one pass and takes up less storage space but costs about 500 bucks more than a rotary mower the same size (that already costs enough)...
Rotary mower would be OK, but not twinkle in my eye... Just leave some bucks free for other twinkles...
Just wondering now if my existing drum mower would serve the same purpose as a rotary mower... I know it wouldn't chew things up as good, but I already have it and replacement knives (takes 4) are 25 for 12 bucks and take a couple minutes to swap.....
Plus side (to an extent) with the drum mower is being able to cut roadsides and close to trees without catching the cab on branches...
minus side is maneuvering with the mower sticking so far to the side in tight spots and raking up some of the heavier stuff... and running the quad and harrow afterwards...

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
