Would a Farmall H run a 7' flail off an aftermarket 3 point hitch?

I've got a Farmall H I mostly bought to play with, currently the only thing it does other than tractor rides is tow a 5' pull behind rotary cutter.

I've had the thought of picking up one of the aftermarket 3 point hitches for it and hooking it to the 7' flail for some extra use. I've got a 12' batwing that does my normal farm mowing, but I need the 7' occasionally and its a pita to hook up to the big tractor.

Not sure if the H would actually lift it (weighs about 1200lbs), I'm sure the PTO horsepower would be fine in the light amount of grass I'd be using it on.

The Farmall H should not be used to lift and operate a 7-foot, 1200-lb mower without a wheel or load support design. Instead, use the Farmall H to operate a 7-foot mower if the mower has trailing wheels, is cutting flat terrain, has thin grass, and you use the correct hitch adapter.

LOL. No. I have a 10' flail that requires 80 HP. Your tractor is 26 HP. I don't think it's close. That drum is so heavy that H may not even spin it up. I know it won't lift it.
