I have a 15 foot pull JD (1508) and a couple of three point rotary mowers.
I have hated that pull mower from day 1. It is a man killer to hook up, it does a half arsed job of mowing, and it won't even mow whole strips when you are turning at all. It has a set of blades behind the tractor and the wings each have a set of blades. Since those set so far back it's easy for whispy stuff to never see a blade. I will only mow places that I can't see from the house. I hate the look of the pastures and ditches after you use it. The bull pen here at home is about seven acres. I use the 8N Ford with a five foot three point mower. I mowed it once in a couple of hours with the big one, but then I had to look at the job it had done every time I left the house.
I guess my point would be go with sonething that has a single set of blades or get one that has the blades in line with each other. A neighbor has one like that and if does a good job. It's probably a 10 footer.

We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
