I have a 6' woods belly mower on a Ford 960
for cutting large grass areas, small GARDEN
tractors with mowers, walk behind mowers
and trimmers, and a 6' brush hog on a Ford
3000. My neighbor had a 4' belly mower on a
Farmall A and he tore it up pushing it to cut in
rough areas. I think you will find that a mower
on a Cub or other small tractor will come up
short on power when the grass is long or wet.
Since you have a New Holland compact you
could try a finish mower on 3point and see
how you like it. Many dealers will rent used
units. Another possibility is to look into fail
type mower. I understand that it handles wet /
long grass and weeds better than a finish
mower and gives a better cut than a brush
cutter. You could also sharpen the blades on
your brush cutter and it will do a much cleaner
job on grasses. Lift brush cutter, firmly block
it up, and sharpen blade on unit with a 4"
angle grinder.
Just some things to think about.
