When I was a teenager and Dad was running a custom mowing service [I mowed in the daytime, Dad mowed after 6], he traded for a Cub with a Mott Hammerknife. My experience says that (1) in tall stuff, if you keep your blades sharp, the Woods 42 is as good as any bush hog (footnote: my brother proved that, even if you install the blades BACKWARDS, it WILL still cut, but it won't be pretty and it pulls a lot harder); and (2) The Mott will have difficulty with really tall stuff, as John mentioned, and it won't cut well when the grass is wet (heavy dew). Otherwise, my opinion is that the Mott will give a LAWN a more manicured look, but the Woods will cut off darm near anything you can get under a Cub. So the choice gets down to just exactly what you want to use it for. Mott is tops for strictly lawns, but Woods 42 is best for all-around usage.
