I've used a 5 foot King Kutter side discharge for the past 4 years to cut 3+ acres of pasture. There are a couple of things to think about. First, the wider the mower the more likely to scalp uneven ground. The "free floating" feature is the mower is pulled with the 3 point hitch all the way down and it runs on 4 small wheels on each corner of the deck. It has a roller in the center. Second, I'd get one wide enough to cut the tire tracks your tractor leaves. If your grass gets much higher than about 8 inches, you will probably need to bush hog rather than mow as the pto drive gear box turns the belt driven spindles and if you load it up to much the belt might slip which can cause premature failure of the belt. One of the things I don't like is the tires. I have to fix a couple of flats a year. Most of the people I know with other brands also have the same tire problems. I've had fine service out of my King Kutter, only replaced the belt and blades. King Kutters customer service is good, and the blades and belts arrived in a couple of days after ordering them.
