flail mower - brushhog - rotary mower - disc mower - haybine - discbine - mower conditioner - and any others.

flail is for high grass, but cut to look like a lawn, bush or rotary cutter is for heavy, high grass and brush and small saplings,disc mower is for cutting hay as are haybine and mower conditioners.the mower conditioners have large rollers that crush the grass or stalks so they dry faster.mower conditioners are generally used for heavy stemmy and stalky plants,like canes, etc.

Correct me if i am wrong but are you not refuring to a brushhog, isnt a bushog just a brand name? SO which of these would be best for a large lawn and pastures?

What's your goal?

For the lawn, a finish mower (pretty much a standard lawn mower) produces the nicest finish, I believe a flail mower does pretty good while allowing rougher ground & thicker grass & more speed.

For the pasture, do you need to cut down something that has been overgrown for years, do you need to trim out weeds from a grazed pasture, do you wish yo make hay from it? Grass hay or alfalfa hay?

Brush hog (cuts anything), sickle mower (cheap, plugs up a lot on thick old hay), mower/conditioner (makes windrows of good hay esp. alfalfa), for smaller pastures flail mower (goes through thicker hay, but chews it up for baling and will not last like a bush hog on rough stuff), a disc mower is great if you've got the money for it (goes through anything, but breakage is very spendy to repair), discbine puts a discmower on a mowerconditioner, lots of $$$. All good for pasture, but it depends if you wish to make hay or clip junk.

Planning on mowing 3 pastures total of about 3 acres, all have animals on it at some point. would want to do some work with brush. Would like to get something that can be used for pasture and lawn and brush. The bush is minimal but it is there.

BUSH HOG is a brand name. "Brush hog" or rotary cutter is the type of implement. sorry for not being clear on that before.
