Perhaps its not the feedback you requested, but Im really not a fan of 8 foot rotary mowers. Too wide to build with a single gearbox (so more expensive), but only a foot wider than the single spindle 7 foot models. Also, unless you are cutting heavy brush, the heavy duty models are, in my opinion over rated/priced. As others have mentioned, you might consider a flex wing mower (drawbar), as it gives you much more capacity, along with reduced scalping and side cutting capability (and it folds up to fit through areas where an 8 foot mower wont). Your 90hp tractor ought to be able to handle it (but will not be fast in tough conditions, which is actually good).
Otherwise, perhaps price a single spindle 7 foot mower.
We decided to go with both (both used, but in good shape, for less than the price of one new mower). We pull a 15 foot Rhino SR15 behind an 81 hp JD 5425, and a 3 point 7 foot JD 717 behind a 55 hp JD 2240. I find that each tractor mower combo has its place in our field mowing challenges
