    Is a mowing arm a good option for topping.

    Problem is I have no room in shed for a topper, would a mowing arm be more durable

    They'll do the job but they'll break your heart. You have to drive really slow with them, they only cut 4 foot wide, unless you get a really fresh one you will have problems with sections on the blade, driving rod problems etc. etc. A good second hand topper won't cost too much more and will be easier on your heart at least.
