Ron: A Farmall 130 will have no problem with a 5 or 6 foot finish mower. Now, I've never run a bush hog on one of these little tractors, but I have on a 300. Big item I see about bush hogs is the shock loads created from hitting something a wee bit larger than normal. I'm thinking along the lines of stumps or chunks of wood, etc left from previous activities on the land. Probably better from mower point of view than 300, as 130 will probably stall where a 300 would do damage. And just maybe my experience is not a fair test of equipment. My dad and I were clearing 10' to 14' high trees and bush 40 years ago. A hot shot salesman drove in suggesting he could cure our problems with a bush hog type mower. Well, he did for 3-4 hours then the 300 tore the mower to blazes. I'm not sure how he explained this damage to his superiors. We advised him that in the long run, chain saws and axes would probably cost less per acre.
