I have a 5' Bush Hog Squeeler on a B2920. As others have said, it is a lot of weight setting way back. If I was buying today, I would probably look at the Woods 54". I tend to drive with my wheel on the edge of where I just cut on the previous round anyway, so I would really only be loosing 3" on the inside side of the cut. Meanwhile it is smaller and lighter, but would still cover the tracks of the tractor.
Another thought, if you are mowing reasonably thin grass with no rocks, logs, etc in there and not wanting to clear brush, have you considered getting a rear finish mower instead. They can be set to mow pretty high. The weight is not carried as far back as with a rotary mower. Also, their wheels support the mower when it is on the ground.
One of the weaknesses of using the Kubota tractors with the 1/4" valve is when mowing with a rotary mower. The 1/4" valve will not hold the implement at a set height for a prolonged period. Mine will drop about 3/4" in 15 minutes, so while you are mowing with a rotary mower which relies on the 3 pt hitch to hold the front of the mower up, will sag down and if you forget to bump it back up, it will be dragging on the ground in the front. Mowing with a RFM would be much easier if the conditions of your pasture would allow it.
