It would be up to the task horsepower wise if using it with a 5 ft mower met your time requirements to complete the task of mowing. The down side of the TE/TO-20"s are the lack of live hydraulics. The pto must be engaged to lift the mower because it drives the three point hitch hydraulic pump.That means when you lift the cutter the blade is driven.
I have a TO-30 with the same issue. I mow with our Ford 4610. I ahve use dthe TO-30 but I"m not comfortable using it to mow. I have a 6 foot rotary cutter that weighsin at ~750 and when I lift the mower, the front end gets light. And I don"t like lifting it with the PTO running but have no other choice. So I use the Ford.
Personally, I"d prefer the MF135. With live hydraulics and two stage clutch it"s a better set up.
Opinions are like belly buttons-everybodys has one.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
