As far as 3pt or trailer type I think it comes down to personal preference. I have a 6ft AC trailer type and I love it. BUT, having said that I must admit, my WD works awfully hard to handle it in high or thick weeds. A 5ft would probably have been a wiser choice. If you decide to go for a 3pt you might want to add some weight to the front end for stability. As far as brands House and King Kutter are cheapest to buy and in quality. My used AC cost about the same as they would, but its far heavier duty.

I have a 1952 WD with the stock 4" stroke and 4 1/8" bore. I have a Bush Hog SQ 72 pull type cutter. It does just fine in all situations if the blades are good and sharp. The trick to this little "hog" is that it can be pulled by any tractor with a drawbar and pto. WD or WC, dont matter. In addition, it is the same deck as the 3-point model, conversion is only about $150 away, and with factory Bush Hog parts.

I paid $1100.00 for this little tool and have not been disappointed with it at all. I believe it was made for an old Allis WD. Tall fescue, small trees, if the old WD can climb it - its a gonner!

I bought a 6ft. pull behind, and the first time I used it behind my WD, it broke the PTO gearbox housing. I ran over a hump and ran the blades into the ground. Instead of breaking the shear bolt, the shock of the blade stopping instantly caused the side of the housing to break. It turns out this is a weakness with WD's. I got a used replacement out of a WD-45, and that one had a couple of 1/8" steel plates to reinforce the housing. Now I use my D-17 and score my shear bolts. My suggestion for you is, get a 3pt, with a slip clutch. Pull type hogs cost ~$200 more than 3pt versions, so there's half the cost of the 3pt conversion right there; and 3pt hogs run much closer to the rear tractor tires, which will eliminate a lot of the scalping. They're also a lot more maneuverable. The slip clutch, adjusted right, will save your gearbox.
