Buying Advice Rotary cutter

[ziggyport2001]

I am looking to purchase a rotary cutter for my mahindra 3016. I plan to cut brush off a field and trails in the woods. I need advice on what type to get. Slip clutch versus shear pin etc. any help would be appreciated.

On size 5HP PTO HP per foot of cut (not engine HP) is recommended. I.E. a 60 inch rotary cutter requires 25 PTO HP. I have always had shear pin rotary cutters as I have never had a problem with a shear pin type cutter. No experience with clutch type. I have owned several rotary cutters. The Land Pride RCR1860 I own now is the best that I have ever owned.

I use the shear pin (light grade bolt) for my cutter. I wouldn't buy anything less than a medium duty model .
