boom mower for 50HP tractor? they are so expensive I hate to get the wrong one so it is best to get it right the first time. I'll be mowing the roads on my 590 acre property and the 50 acres I lease next to me so I got lots of roads to mow. Any additional info or flail or rotary boom would be great, thanks

You might visit your local county roads maintenance dept. Those guys are more likely to have first-hand experience with those toys.

Flail all the way, any trash that ends up on the side of the road will not stop you dead in your tracks.

Just a note: I do road work on a public road that is privately maintained, get an insurance policy to cover yourself, all it takes is one idiot suing you over something like a rock through a window or them running into you to ruin your day!
And set it up with lights, strobes, and caution signs too front and rear!;)
