I have no experience with the "disc" type mowers out there, but they seem to be a lot of them. Could anyone tell me what the difference is in cut or use of disc mowers compared to sickle bar mowers.

Best I can tell from the little info I have come across is that the disc type are heavier and cost more but from what I have seen when I have seen one mowing is nothing spectacular compared to sickle bar mower.

Would appreciate some of your experiences comparing these types.

No anthills. Just basic pasture and hay ground mowing. Just interested in the differences between the two types and what makes disc mowers so popular compared to sickle bar.

I do trim up hillside terraces and road ditches.

You can run a higher ground speed with a disc mower.
