Lawnmower/Brush Hog question

Get that big DR machine that uses the strings. It is like a weed eater machine on steroids.

Back in the late ‘70s, my parents bought a Kubota B6000 with a Woods RM-48 mower. Once my dad figured out that the mower was swinging the blades backwards and fixed it did a decent job on grass, and it is still (despite having been left outside for an Ohio winter or two when my sister borrowed it) going strong and their primary mower. After who knows how many moves.

And it goes through ½” thick brush like butter, and we abused the living daylights out of it (3 kids learning to drive a clutch, running over big-ass rocks, grinding everything smooth when we drove it with the mower too low).

Maybe it’s time to trade-in the lawn tractor with a small real tractor and a mower/brush hog attachment?
