Dave that is a basic flail/shredder mower with cup knives. I think you would like the job it would do. The only draw backs to these type of mowers are: 1) If your grass gets thick and tall they will take horsepower to pull. 2) In coarse stemmed stuff that is tall they will bent them over and strip the leaves off but will leave the stem. The cupped knives will reduce that but the real wood stuff you might have to go over in opposite directions.
Advantages of these mowers: 1) they shred everything up into a small size and spread it evenly. They don"t clump stuff up like a rotary mower will. 2) They will suck up downed material very well. I have used a MC rotary scythe in downed hay. It just pulled real hard. 3) They gage the cutting height off of the rear roller. So if you just let it float on your hitch they follow the ground very well. 4) They will suck up the biger clumps of manure and shred/spread them too.
