I've not ruled that out as an option @roys thanks. How do you find the flail copes over undulating ground? How would it cope with maintaining a more formal lawn?

Thanks, really interesting to know how you approach yours

Just acquired roughly 5 acres of land of which 0.5 acres in mowed but undulating lawn. The rest is very scrubby, again undulating but no major slopes with areas prone to getting wet. I'm planning to maintain the lawn for family use but preserve as much of the wild areas as possible by mowing paths into the scrub to enable us to walk the area. I have a maximum budget of £5k to get what I need to manage it myself and I've done a lot of research online but looking for some experienced advice and reviews to guide me. Thought I'd narrowed it down to a Grillo Climber 7.15 brushcutter but then read about issues related to poor quality generally with cost of spares extortionate. Any recommendations very welcome, thanks in advance.
