Use whatever gear is appropriate for the conditions and your level of experience. Even if there is any truth to this "thin gear" thing you claim, you are not doing anything particularly stressful to the transmission by running a mower. Start slow and work your way up.
I personally would run the mower high for the first pass, and then run it progressively lower with each mowing.
You can raise the mower as much as the 3pt will raise it, but it won't be nearly high enough to "trim" the bushes. It'll still be mowing them off. If you were thinking to raise the mower up vertical and back into the side of the bushes, that won't work because of the way the gearbox is situated. The mower only operates horizontal.
