Your 861 will have live PTO; that's what the 6 designation stands for in the model number. Although the 861 should be OK with most 6' bush hogs, keep in mind that you have to check the minimum HP rating for whatever bush hog you select, and keep in mind that the lift arms on these older Fords aren't as strong as larger, newer tractors.

I have a light-duty 5' bush hog I run on my 861, and a heavy-duty 6' bush hog I run on a JD 4000 diesel. This heavy-duty 6' requires at least 45 HP and weighs over 1500 lbs. Just my $0.02.
