I also have a tow behind swisher rough cut. It does a great job!!! I usually cut my 3 acre field in a little over an hour and makes light work of cleared trails. Definitely worth the investment if you have more than an acre to take care of. On a side note, there is no way that it will cut 3 inch saplings. It struggles and bogs down if I try to cut corn down at the end of the season. Also, trails and fields need to be cleared of any rocks that could hit the blade. I have owned mine for close to ten years and have just changed the blade and belt. They are very durable!!
