I agree a 5 foot belly mower should work just fine.
I bought a Yanmar 186D with a Woods L59 belly mount, which is a 5 foot.
The Yanmar is rated at 18 HP. The A Farmall is rated 13 HP at the drawbar and 16 at the PTO. Actual Nebraska test results were 16.32 at the drawbar and 18.34 on the belt (same as PTO).
My Yanmar would handle about 6 inch tall grass HP wise, the limiting factor being belt slippage with all the pully's the belt goes around.
I just (yesterday) bought a Case-IH 6 foot rear mount trimming mower. RM72 to be exact. I know I have the power to pull a 6 foot, I had my 6 foot BMB three point shredder on it. I just don't have enough weight even with 2 small Ford suitcase weights hanging on the weight bracket. But getting off subject of yours, a 5 foot would work fine.
My Woods will be for sale if the RM72 works well. DOUG
