    I have a 6ft topper at the moment but its too heavy for the 35. What's a better mower for a 35? Should i go finger bar or is there a small drum mower that would work well with a 35?

    PZ 135, or one of the Polish copies.
    Finger for sure, if you are cutting lighter stuff/nettles.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to sort out some land I have and its mostly covered in rushes at the moment which is what the topper struggles with. I couldn't see a finger bar being mush good with the rushes?

    Finger bar useless for rushes.
    Ideally a disk mower as opposed to a drum, as the rushes flow over it better when cut.
    If you have much of an area to clear, you'd be better getting someone in to "mulch" them rather than wrecking your own mower .......
    Then spray the area with MCPC to control them after they regrow.
    Lots of threads about rushes over on the Farming forum.
