So, I know that this probably seems like a bizarre question, but how "finished" is the cut of a rough cut mower? I need one for some of the work around the place, but also have a lawn to contend with-the lawn is far from "golf green manicured".

The term "beat it into submission" comes to mind 
usually it will be several different lenghs. The slower you go, the better it looks

erda, sounds like you might be better served with a flail mower. Here's a link to a thread on one member's new Caroni and his testing of it.

I'd rather ask "How tuff is a finish mower?? Pretty darn tuff, and you get a nice lawn where you want it.
I'd never use my brush hog on the lawn. It would be a mess.

Agri-72 mower like a bush hog. I added two casters to front and used a rigid hitch on my old 40 hp cockshutt.it followed like a 3 point and cut like a rough cut. For keeping grass down its fine.
Ran a rough cut 72" offset mower, its a heavy duty ball hitch tow behind. That thing was as hard to pull around as my car hauler trailer. Was a chore where there was lots of obstacles.
I found a 5' finish mower for kubota, jury's still out on that one.
