Thanks a lot.

A brush hog will cut a lawn but it will be very cude compared to a finish mower. It tears the grass with big heavy blades while a finish mower cuts the grass with sharper blades turning at a highter speed generally. A finish mower usually has more wheels and rollers to keep from scalping also.

My neighbors property is 15 acres, not all grass of course but a rotary cutter is all that he has ever used even around the house. When we purchased our property we started cutting with a rotary cutter and switched to a finish mower once we got the wild stuff under control.

A finish mower will give you a better cut, but again some do use rotary cutters just the same.

Some people cut thier lawns with a rotart mower.. but you need to put just a bit of edge on them... works -ok-, tradeoff is the sharp blades suffer a tad when you hit rocks when you use it for rough cutting.

If you are calling it a lawn then a brush hog will not give you anything close to satisfaction. That is what a finish mower does. I tried doing the same thing several years back and the initial results were unsatisfactory until I purchased a caroni finish mower. It really depends on what kind of a look you prefer but brush hog and lawn sound kind of like sherman tank and race car!
