Triker: You didn't say, but is the 3 point a Saginaw. If that be the case, 3 point shouldn't interfere. Swinging drawbar will however.

I would think either of the 59 inch mowers would be quite narrow for an H. I have a 59 on my SA and tires set on 52" centers, 60" outside. I don't think I'd want to go far off level ground with an H set that narrow. If an H is set wider than mower, the rolling effect of those rear tires will interfere with quality of mowing. I think you would be better off looking for a 306. They are 72" width of cut.

There is another down side to a belly mower. You don't mount them in 5 min., and you don't do much else with tractor while the belly mower is on there. If doing the mower again I think I'd look for a 3 point hitch model. I don't think anyone has matched Woods for mowing quality, but there are better vehicles for a belly or front mount mower than a tractor. These little machines you see with mower out front, are much better on manuverability, but I've yet to see one match the mowing quality of a Woods. I have never checked, but suspect Woods do sell that type of self propelled mower.
