Look for a 9 foot bar, belt drive unit, it can be 3 point or trail type depending on what you like or what you find. They work well, but like any equipment you have to use caution and keep it in good repair. You can"t mow trees or brush with them and they won"t cut fence posts so you have to kind of watch where you are going. You can"t mow in road gear and you have to keep the sickle sharp, replace a section now and then and just generally use common sense. Then the mower will do a great job for you. There are at least a couple dozen brands and some are a little better than others, ask around when you see one for sale, you"ll soon learn what people think of different brands and models.
