I have a Mahindra (Kodiak makes it) 6' 3pt job, with slip clutch. Seems to have held up pretty well over the past 2 years. I have not tried to cut too many trees with it, though. I will say that with sharp blades, it will handle most saplings that it's encountered fairly well. The sides have bowed out some from hitting hidden rocks, and I'm having to replace the blades one day this week. But, the cutter is 2 years old, and has mowed a LOT of grass and cleared up a lot of ground. You 135 should pull it fine, I pull mine with a Farmall 300 so we're about evenly matched. I also have an 8' pull-type cutter (Deere MX8) that I use for bigger places but that isn't what you were asking about.
Whatever cutter you decide on, do yourself a favor and buy a slip-clutch model. I fought shear-bolt cutters for years until I bought my 6' cutter. Simply slip the clutch about once a year and you'll have no worries. Keep it out of the rocks, too. That's what's been hardest on both of mine, all the d@mn rocks around here. Both my cutters have their sides bulged out somewhat from hitting them in the field. Otherwise, the Kodiak has held up well. Keep the slip-clutch, blades, and gearbox in good shape and you will be good to go for years.
