I just eared my 3 acre field with this mower. I have some serious elevation gain and I had 3' tall black berries. It was wet and my Honda 350 rancher got a major workout. 1st gear the whole time, and I absolutely demolished everything I wanted to. Awesome mower. About 5,500$ for a new one. I borrowed this mower from a bro. Got him a half gallon or knob Creek rye and I washed the thing from top to bottom.
I have one of these too. Yes you can adjust the height from a few inches to about 8 inches high. I used a Polaris 500 to pull it. Worked good but hills you had to give it half throttle or more. Now I use a Polaris 800. Pulls easy. Side by side will work great. They are just under $5K
