I'd agree with what has been said below, realize you are a bit short on HP for tall grasses, add a slope to that, you will have to take less of a cut, or raise the cutting height, adapt and overcome. Overunning clutch is probably a must, the momentum of the cutter will propel you forward, when you think you will stop, I run a 6' cutter on my 850 ford, no overunning clutch, I just lower it down and let the stump pan rub.
One thing you must do, is make sure the rotary cutter is properly adjusted and set up on the tractor, you may feel the front end get light, add some weight if possible, also make sure the blades are sharp and or not beat up, out of balance etc. you want every bit of efficiency out of that cutter if you are mowing tall, thick grasses, with that set up I'd want to keep the field cut regularly, much easier on the tractor. You may also want to monitor the engine temp, could be some hard work for that tractor, better done on cooler, clear days.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
