Who carpets their fields? That seems like a waste of time. Although, several times, I have thought of making all my hay fields into astroturf. It would be a lot easier to bale, but, I think the horses would starve.
I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for a similar mowing job. It's an abandoned farm yard and the previous owner had a junk yard and liked to bring his work home with him. Some parts of it have been in pasture for 20 years, so they just let the cows eat around the junk. Now the orchard grass is 5 feet tall and matted in the bottom from 3 years of no grazing or cutting.
I'm not sure which mower would be best. I was thinking of sickle bar, but it would only take one small car transmission to break a sickle knife. Then I was thinking flail mower, but I don't want to unravel woven wire fence and spools of black plastic water pipe from the drum. Then, I was thinking rotary brush hog, but I think if I hit a propane bottle it might turn the tractor into a rocket.
I think my final choice will be bulldozer and skidsteer. Grass seed and straw mulch is cheaper than a new mower.
