You have several responses. Let me see if I can add. The cultivision Farmalls including the 100 are excellent small tractors and are willing to work hard. They excell in cultivating and will support all the garden you want to work if the cultivating equipment comes with it. Otherwise, there is a problem as the custom designed equipment is a little hard to find (there are alternatives but nothing works as good as OEM equipment on this tractor).
Regarding rotary cutting, IH made a custom rear mount rotary cutter (4 ft) designed to mount to its lift system and attach to the offset PTO which worked well. But, I think it will be nearly impossible to find one. I don't think one of todays off the shelf rotary cutters will work without a lot of creative work well.
There is a great option. There are several modern belly mowers that work well on this tractor for light and medium cutting. I would use a 5 ft model.
The tractor does have hydraulic lift but does not have remote hydraulics if that is what you are asking. The tractors weakness is its lack of 3pt hitch which would make it compatable with modern off the shelf equipment. 3 pt conversion kits are available. If the tractor has one it is a plus.
Summary, the 100 can be a very good grass cutter but does not have versatility of tractor with 3pt hitch.
