I have owned light, medium and heavy duty rotary cutters of various sizes and manufacturers. Currently, I own a 5' Frontier (sold by JD), a 6' Woods BB720X, and a 7' Woods BB840X. I just sold a 10.5' Woods MDS 1260.
I bought all of these new and shopped Bush Hog, Land Pride and Woods before buying.
You will find that smaller, light/middle duty cutters will have a bushing in the tail wheel while the HD models will have a roller bearing. This is important if you plan to keep your mower awhile. The bushing will be a constant source of maintenance even if you grease it regularly while the roller bearing will last a lifetime, even if you do not.
I have mixed emotions about slip clutches. They work well if adjusted to the HP rating of your tractor and are properly maintained but few are. If you do not loosen your slip clutch and slip it every year or so the clutch pack will rust resulting in no protection of your tractor PTO system. Very, very few folks do this.
