(quoted from post at 03:28:15 08/26/15) I sure will chime in! I run a No. 5 with my MT. You need to have the quick hitch attachment that James shows in the 5th picture. You also cannot run a 3 pt hitch conversion. I have accumulated all original MT implements so this is not an issue for me. You mentioned you have the hydraulic lift on yours which may be the only issue. Unless you have added a set of remotes to your MT you will need to find some extra parts to put it back to the standard configuration. I would bet between this website and ebay you find them cheap/easy. Make sure when you mount the mower to the drawbar you bolt the drawbar in place along with using the locking cams. Mine vibrates a bit and will often drop a pin hole on the cams and that will make your day less fun. I run the cams in the middle hole because this gives me a nice level PTO shaft.
I mow a couple of spots with the mower. I keep around our pumpkin field clean which is rough grass, briars... basicaly unkept field. The MT doesn't really act like the mower is there even in thicker stuff. I rebuilt the mower so it has new knives and guards that have had the ledger plates replaced.
In the orchard I run I use it to mow under trees this year when our New Holland 451 broke. I chose to run uphill and the grass was thick. I had a bit of clogging but overall in thick heavy orchard grass it also did really well. Better than the NH 451.
I'd say if you can make it work on your MT reasonably cheap to go for it.
