Worse thing to do,,, is to leave all the grass and dirt on top of the shredder (as they are called down here). Leaving the top covered will hold moisture on it and rust it out quickly. Parking it with it at an angle to let water run off will help, but most brands trap water on the decks due to design of frame.
As others have said.. there are consumer grade, medium grade and heavy duty highway grade. But for just cutting grass, a consumer grade will work fine.
If your cutting light brush, lots of rocks, then you might move up.. If your clearing heavy brush, then the biggest, heaviest, will be worth the 3 times the price.
Stump jumpers if rough, brushy or even rocky... help get the center over obstacles. If tractor is over 35 hp, then consider a slip clutch. If brushy, a slip clutch will save a lot of time as I can break 10 shear pins a day and run out of pins and have to quit when clearing/ reclaiming brushy pastures.
Shredders are not designed to clear heavy brush, but... if it will push over, some folks will do it. Cant tell you how many shafts I have twisted.
