More on rotary mowers

As I read all the replies to my previous post and thought about it some more I am
starting to lean toward a rigid heavy duty 7' 3ph mower. It is only a foot
narrower cut than an 8 footer and more maneuverable than a pull type and would
still cover my tractor tread. Probably a Woods BB84.50 ( might consider the
BB84.40 or 84.60).
Options I need opinion on:
standard stump jumper or round one.
1 or 2 trailing wheels.

There are several Woods dealers near me so that is why I am considering only them.
Does anyone have any really negative things to say about Woods or really have a
brand they consider far superior. I could probably save money by finding a good
used one but I know how these are used and a good used one would take some time to
locate. Anyone want to buy a 30 year old JD 606 rotary mower with a broken
spindle?

Thanks for your input,
Phil
 
Rounded Stump Jumper is good in brush and rocks that are more server in diameter or projection from the surface. A two wheel mower supports the deck and scalps less in tough irregular terrain. the mower should be at least 1/2 inch lower in the leading edge of the blade circle than the trailing this prevents recutting the stubble and reduces power requirements. The top link should be tellescopic to allow the mower rear to be raised by the trailing wheels as the tractor rear wheels go into depressions. Jim
 
I have a pull type Cadet 60 FIL bought around 1980. Good and heavy duty. I got to like the pull type. Nice for getting into small spots if you have a real slow reverse. Just have to watch when backing it up.
 
I wonder it dual tailwheels would be better if trying to back over a larger tree?

I know the rounded shape of the rear deck wants to push the front of the tractor to the side. Dual tailwheel might offer a straight bar that would be better suited to pushing big trees over.
 
The availability of support from dealers is a very big plus .

Manufacturing with heaviest materials . Got a Woods box scraper . What I see , no experience with mowers ,
