Side mounted brush cutter for Ford 860

Does anyone know if Ford or anybody else made a side-mounted, articulating-arm brush cutter for a Ford 860? I've tried to find one on various web sources but no luck. Not sure what they were called but maybe my key search words could be better.
 
Go to the other "N" site and at the top of the page click on "manuals" then on "mowers" and you will get the info you need. Shows one mounted on an 860.
 
Thanks, Del, but unless I have the wrong "N" site, I see an ad with a mid-mounted sickle-bar mower on an 860, but that's not what I was looking for. Do I have the wrong site, perhaps? I'm looking for an articulating arm with a Bush-Hog type mower on the end for cutting back hedge rows and other encroaching brush. These setups usually have a counter-weight on the opposite side to compensate for the weight of the articulating arm and mower box (see the pic). It may be the Ford 860 wouldn't accommodate this type of setup. If there is one, I need the model number so I can search around. I did see smaller tractors with REAR-mounted articulating-arm mowers, so Ford or other brands may have an offering for those rigs; that would work, too.

A Ford 860 is a great tractor for its time, but is way too small for the articulating arm with a bush hog type cutter, even with a counterweight. There is a reason that you found a much newer bigger tractor pictured with the type of mower you are looking for.
 
That's a lot to ask from a mid 50's 40+ HP tractor weighing around 3,500+ Lbs., and with a 3.5 GPM (+/-) hydraulic pump.

My VERY good 55 860, recently sold, was my "big" tractor for about 15 years but, there are things that it could not do, and this is one such task.
