He's the one who recommended that I buy a commercial
mower for the purpose I needed (mowing large horse paddocks).

Why aren't the horses doing that? ;-) When our family had a horse farm up
in Pepperell, MA, I don't recall ever having to cut the grass in the
paddocks. The other areas grew long on purpose, and we only cut twice/year
for hay.

When we first moved here, Mrs.E. didn't use all three paddocks, so I used to
mow a couple of them if the grass got too tall.

At first I tried with the big tractor and the mower attachment that mounts
on the rear 3 point hitch.
It was a pain trying to get into the corners of the fenced paddock, so I
removed the rear leveling wheel. Then it scalped the ground here and there.
So then I bought a used John Deere lawn tractor. It just wasn't powerful
enough to cut the grass if it grew too high.

That's when I got the Scag. It handles pretty much anything.
