I believe just about all manufacturers produce good serviceable stuff.I have to give credit to my 80 inch twin spindle Woods new in 1964.It seems to me that it does a lot better than the single spindle 60 inch mower that I also have.I pull both with with a Minneapolis Moline 335 of the same vintage and the Woods 80 inch will go thru heavy weeds and grass as high as the tires even with a sprinkling of small saplings in 3rd gear. I believe you need to consider torque as well as HP because I have tried newer tractors of the same HP (35 horse ) with out success.In short the old machines had lower speed long stroke engines which really lug when the going is tough.Also think the twin spindle is easier to pull with lower hp requirements.I am not knocking anyone elses opinion or equipment,Just telling of my experience.I had Case DC which all neighbors borrowed to use on silo blowers because of the torque produced by that old long stroke engine.It just never choked down when the blower was over fed.
