If it were me, I would stretch my budget a little and get a used compact diesel with a hydrostatic trans of what ever color you prefer. I have 3 acres that was a house on a hay field 32 years ago. I bought an 8n with a flail mower and a back blade. It only took a year of mowing before the "hay field" became what I call good grass and I started saving for a finish mower. I still have and and use my 8n, but I do nearly all my yard maintenance with 2 used (88,92) Kubotas I've had for 10 and 14 years respectively. My guess is you won't be brush hogging very long on 3 acres before you want the grass to look nice. The amount of fuel you save in 15 years will more than cover the additional cost. My Kubota's will cut the grass for 1/3 the fuel of the 8n. This is what my hay field looks like now.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
