For many years we've used a venerable Kubota T1600H to both mow our
lawns and to cut large areas of rough paddock (brambles, stinging
nettles and, hopefully, grass). The T1600H is now beginning to show
signs of its age.

We have bought a Stiga 'out front' mower for the lawns so I'm
wondering what to get for the rougher paddock areas. We have a
compact tractor (Iseki 18Hp) as well so the choice probably lies
between:-

Add on flail mower for the tractor, OK but not so manoeuverable as
the Kubota we have now for edges, corners, etc.

A new[er] ride on rotary mower, there are some that advertise
themselves as specifically for rough mowing (though I've not seen
a diesel powered one which we'd prefer)

Sonmething else? E.g. a 'walk behind' mower of some sort, but it
needs to be powered (i.e. driven wheels) and to have an easy
forward/reverse to get along edges of fences, into corners, etc.
