I used to have a Lely mower that by virtue of being belt driven would work at 90 degrees. I used it to cut the shrubs lining my drive a few times.

that’s the sort of thing.
Are they all Much the same or some makes better than others.

You are describing an offset verge mower eg McConnel Elite Offset many other brands, i have a Fleming one actually made by Agricom its only a 1.3 metre cut but i use it on orchard tractors 70 -80 hp, will face a hedge ready for fencing only thing being the gearbox will limit how low it cuts.
They will cut vertical and also angle down maybe 30 to 45 degrees. Most tend to be manufactured in Italy, its not so much the weight its the overhang and the fact the weight is mostly on one wheel so cutting width tends to be a lot less than a normal topper.

It will be on a T6 160 so nit too worried about off hanging weight .

This is mine, i did have to weld 8 inches on the front to stop it showering the tractor in bits even when fully shoved over as the metal shields drop by gravity so when its vertical they just fold up against the lid. Its 2.2m wide and will chew through a 4 inch black thorn if you give it time.
I have it on 115hp tractor but have no hills and its never felt unstable

Just to add i never normally run it totally vertical i find its best putting it at say 80 deg as it tends to throw stuff into the hedge and i think leaves a nicer cut with a slight wedge on the hedge

I think most are as they are built for the continent, so left hand cuts are not as common. I do the verges near the yard with mine just go slow when its quiet with the lights on
