Your Jubilee was rated at about 32 PTO HP whereas your 3560 is 28 PTO HP, but the 3560 is generations more modern. FWIW: The L3560 is considered marginally underpowered, especially if cab equipped.
A 6' finish mower is OK for your 3560 but a 6' rough cut mower is really pushing things unless conditions are moderate and the mower is not too heavy.
I have an L6060 on which I use a Woods BB720X HD 6' mower and it's often all that the 53 PTO HP 6060 wants in some of the conditions where I use it. If turned on, I often find the stall guard feature reducing ground speed, sometimes to zero, in the tough stuff even though the 720X clears well and I keep the blades SHARP.
I also have a 27 PTO HP B3350 on which I use a Frontier RC2060 5' mower as well as a 72" MMM. It handles both well in all of the conditions where I use it, but it is considerably lighter than your 3560 so considerably less HP is needed just to move things around.
All of my tractors are open station because I routinely drive around and beneath trees. ROPS model tractors are lighter and less HP is needed just to move. I also never use liquid ballast, further limiting weight, but my dealer made a mistake on my 3350 and filled the rear tires with Rim Guard. When I noticed it they agreed to not charge me for the Rim Guard rather than swap the wheels/tires for a non filled set and I agreed. Hopefully, I will never have a puncture. Grrrrrr.
If I were to mount a 6' rotary cutter to your 3560, I would look for a light weight model and only use it in light or moderate conditions. I would also keep the blades sharp so long as I was not mowing saplings.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
