I don't think it will do much more than the H really I was just thinking of the options on it like the live pto and live hydraulics being a plus when on a sickle mower, brushhog, or anything like that. I will do a little plowing and disking with it but not a bunch of land.
Sickle Mowing: Live PTO is not needed with sickle mowing. Typically you need to stay moving with a sickle anyway to clear the bar so live PTO is not really an advantage IMOP. Live hydraulics not needed here either.
bushhogging: I will give you Live PTO is nicer but not mandatory. A ($45 -$65) add on overrunning clutch is mandatory on the h though with the bushog.
Plowing: Well if you talking mounted plow then yes advantage to 504. Tow plow - even toss up.
discing? Mounted disc advantage 504, but most people other than gardeners prefer a tow disc. Tow disc even toss up.
Do not let me talk you out of buying the 504. Heck I am living proof that one can never have too many tractors. If you found one for a nice price snatch it up. Just do not think your ole h is not up to some of the tasks you mentioned. Ole h's get little to no respect but they are quite capable and quite the fuel misers to boot.
Now if you want to add snowblowing, pulling a corn picker, pulling a baler, pulling a tow type combine, pulling a corn chopper and maybe even a 3 point rototiller then I would easily say the 504 has the clear advantage over your ole h. Although the h can still can still do some of these tasks it is way way more handicapped. 504 would do better with things like a 3 point angle blade or box blade even if your h has 3 point but an h can do those too if it has a 3 point added.
