I have a 27 HP Dixie Chopper Silver Eagle. It won't quite do 15 MPH like
the Xtreme but with a 60" cutter it will flat cut grass.

Do you need to cut it if it's flat?

Now, now. No fair pointing reading-comprehension fingers if you miss
this one. He's flat cutting grass, not cutting flat grass. g

I've got a 25 HP Gravely to do the grass on my farm. Not quite as big as
the Dixie but I've got a big hug ready if I ever meet the guy that invented
these things.

One of my Grandfathers had one of those (same model?)
Pretty spiffy, with the PTO & all. But I doubt he walked at 15 MPH G.
For your farm cut & bale the hay ($$) or get a brushhog for your tractor.

I have a Cub 1554 - 54" cut. Also a 27 HP.
Have a number of options for it and it gets great gas mileage. First two
weeks
the gas usage was up as the rings were setting.
average 1 hour a week. usage.

I have a Cub too. An original 1961 Cadet. Unlike the more recent models
the early ones were built like a tractor with heavy frames and gear boxes.
While the Dixie Chopper does the heavy mowing now that little old tractor
mowed reliably 4 hours a week for 40 years and is still my favorite "utility
vehicle".
