Field mowing....

Need to get something to take down the weeds.....tall enough we can see the Coonhounds when they are running thru the yard. We have 5 acres, back of it is steep enough that getting up it on the tractor is difficult. Front is pretty much open, but the sides and back have quite a few trees. And we have a boat load of rocks...some sticking out far enough to be be problem some not. A neighbor uses something similar to

He has a contraption like

to avoid destroying the blade....or starting a fire with how dry we can get.

Anybody have any suggestions? We have a neighbor that swear by his little lawn tractor....but his yard is pretty much rock free and flat from front to rear. Looked into a bush hog type of deal

but with the amount of rocks have my doubts. Plus with the amount of trees we have getting our old tractor between them is going to leave a lot of stuff un-cut.

Any suggestions?? Have thought about natures mowers (goats) but our dogs would have a field day...
