Just a thought on tip speed....I would think higher tip speed is an asset for a commercial mower mowing a nice lawn to get a nice clean cut but, if you want to use the mower to occasionally mow some tall thick stuff, I would sacrifice the tip speed and go with higher shaft torque (slower tip speed). I don't want a mower pulling the motor down when the going gets tuff.
I might get a fine cut flail mower for the compact tractor if I can find a good enough used one and only use the finish mowers for the yard. Using the finish mowers for the field edges and paths to and around the ponds make me have to mow them at least every week or they get too high and tough to get a good finish cut with one pass, then it becomes drudgery, and it's hard on the mowers to be nearly bogged down a bunch.
Seat belt buzzers: Wish I knew how to disable the one on my F150. Its a pain when driving in a field and have to get in and out to move something, or open and close a gate, etc.
