I have 5 parked acres with some rocks and small bush stumps what could I put on my super to keep the bush and grass down. |

You'll have to avoid the rocks and stumps, but a rotary mower of some sort is what I's recommend, WITH THE CHAIN GUARDS INSTALLED! Run the mower set up high, to avoid the rocks and stumps. The stumps will eventually rot away, after a number of years, but the rocks will stay until you pick them up. Easy way to pick up rocks... [ready?] [ ta da!!!] ... is gloves and a 5 gallon bucket. |

If you can't see the rocks/stumps, a flail mower could be useful. Jim |

I agree, I think a rotary works better once the tough stuff is gone. |

Depend on how big the rocks are. My wife's relatives near Green Bay use a D-7 Cat with a rock rake to clear their fields first. |
