Depends on how much mowing you are wanting to do. I work part time for the county road crew, and they use a side mower that has a hydraulic motor. Has a stack of weights on the left rear tire as well as a large resivoire(sp?)for the hyd. oil. Uses a pump off the PTO to operate the blades as well as the tilt, etc. Excellent for what you are wanting to do, but is a major job to take off and put on. Almost needs to be on a dedicated tractor. There may be a consumer model of the same mower that is a little less heavy duty and a little more easy to put on and take off. Above all, if you use a side mount mower, be sure that your are properly ballasted. A heavy mower hanging over a ditch will turn you over before you have time to react.
