Another question since I am so new at this and the folks on this board are so helpful. Need a rotary cutter (we call them bush hogs where I was raised) to cut fields. Priminary straw and corn stakes, briars, some small brush. Will use on 53 hp pto, need 10 to 12' or so unit. Will probably buy from dealer.
Can anyone recommend a brand and suggested price range???

Brush is often easier than thick grass as the momentum easily lops off the trees and there isn't a lot of volume. the corn stubble was as if it wasn't even there. Rhino, Bush hog, Land Pride, JD, all good machines. I like to use 5 HP per foot of mower as a general rule of thumb for minimums ....
