Mowing Mid mount mower

[roonfry]

I have several needs for a new tractor, but enough money to buy more than one tractor. My problem is I need enough power and size to plant and bale hay. I also need a larger mower for my 3 to 4 acres of mowing over a very rough yard. My old (1957) "tractor" is ready to retire and my riding mower isn't built for this type yard. I have been looking at New Holland boomers, New Holland TN65, JD 5205 & JD 5105. I think I would be happier with the TN65, 5205 or 5105 but I would like to have a mid mount belly mower. So all that said here is my question, is it possible to mount a belly mower on the TN65, 5205 or 5105? Any problems I should be looking for? I have seen mounted mowers on other tractors of this size, D series Allis's and Ford's. I really want to avoid having to use a 3 point finish mower.

Thanks for the advice in advance,
Roonfry

I don't think there is any factory way to put a mid pto on the 5005 series. Unless you can use hydraulic power like some Jacobsen mowers to run the deck. Also you would not be able to get a JD rear finish mower on your tractor because the max pto horsepower for the 72'' 272 deck is 45. The 5105 might be able to do it if it's hp is at or under but I can't remember the specs on it.
