Live hydraulics makes a big difference with a brush-cutter. So does a live PTO. Any N series Ford would drive me nuts with a rear brush-cutter. Every time you push in the clutch, no PTO and no rear lift. If you have a big field and do no stopping or turning, it may not matter to you. If a place where you do stop and turn, lack of the aforementioned can drive you nuts.
Note - a few years ago I picked up a Case VAC for $600 and ran a 5 foot brush hog with it. VAC at least has live hydraulics and the Eagle hitch worked fine with a Cat 1 three-point brush cutter.
I also use a Ford 641 at a remote camp with a 5 foot cutter. I hate the lack of a live PTO and also the "too fast" 1st gear. But at least the 641 has live hydraulics. I had to put an over-running clutch on the PTO shaft to stop the momentum of the mower blade from backfeeding through the non-live PTO.
