We have about 14 acres of grazing split into three roughly equal fields. The top field is quite lush grass, pretty much level, gets lots of sun - we’re planning to use this for hay. The other two fields are wetter, coarser grass, one mostly level, the larger one sloping down to a stream.

I want to get something so we can top the fields when we want to rather than rely on a contractor, especially as it’s a relatively small job for someone. We have a quad and chain harrow already and we’ve been looking at two mowers but one’s almost twice the price so I’m wondering what the difference is and which would be best for our purposes

Thanks for any pointers

I have a Logic flail mower with a Briggs and Stratton motor which I tow behind the quad bike for a similar acreage. It takes a while to do the fields but it is satisfying
