Finish mower or topper?

PB, now I come to think about it, they use flails for all the roadside work, and I dread to think of the junk they find there.
I think I might look into flails more, one thing I have noticed is that the HP requirements are much higher. A 5' flail is looking for 30HP min, a 5' topper about 20HP min. I think my tractor is high 20s at the PTO, dont really know.
What type of blades are you calling finish blades? Hammer flails?

Frank, I think I'm agreeing to your thoughts there, I think I'm fairly set on a topper (with the exception of checking out flails).
I've been looking around at different toppers, lots to choose from. I reckon if I get one with dual tail wheels it'll cut alot better that one on skids I linked to.
