The single bladed "bushog" type mowers do fine, as long as they are sharp and balanced and the blade is turning at the right speed. The drive pulley off the PTO should be the one that's about 8-9" in diameter. If smaller, the blade won't turn as fast and the cutting will be relatively ragged. There are also finish type mowers with two or three blades, depending on the width of the cut. I used a 42" single blade for years before retiring the cub from weekly service in favor of a John Deere F935. If this is going to be used for a relatively manuever-free area, you'll do fine with the standard setup, but if there are lots of stops and starts in the mowing pattern, you may want to invest in an over-running clutch for the mower. All the major manufacturers (like Woods, about $250 last time I checked) make one for their equipment. With the cub, any implement attached to the PTO is connected directly to the drive train, and the momentum of the turning blade acts as a flywheel to maintain torque to the drive. Thus, even though you disengage the clutch, the feed-back from the PTO will keep you moving forward for a little bit. This takes getting used to and anticipating when you will need to stop...it will also take good brakes. However, you can do just fine with it...many do. Good luck...and have fun!
