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.
