For many years we've used a venerable Kubota T1600H to both mow our lawns and to cut large areas of rough paddock (brambles, stinging nettles and, hopefully, grass). The T1600H is now beginning to show signs of its age.
We have bought a Stiga 'out front' mower for the lawns so I'm wondering what to get for the rougher paddock areas. We have a compact tractor (Iseki 18Hp) as well so the choice probably lies between:-
Add on flail mower for the tractor, OK but not so manoeuverable as the Kubota we have now for edges, corners, etc.
A new[er] ride on rotary mower, there are some that advertise themselves as specifically for rough mowing (though I've not seen a diesel powered one which we'd prefer)
Sonmething else? E.g. a 'walk behind' mower of some sort, but it needs to be powered (i.e. driven wheels) and to have an easy forward/reverse to get along edges of fences, into corners, etc.
