Disc mower

You must be thinking of something other than a disc mower. I've never seen one small enough to work on your tractor.
Here's about as small disc mower as you can find.

You're going to pay dearly, but a 5' with 4 disks is the most your going to be able to do.
Like a John Deere R160

Here is some interesting information on the subject...

I'd first pick out a mower that has a "reasonable" expectation that it will work for you and then contact its manufacturer and see if they agree.
By the way, what does your Owners Manual suggest? It will usually state the width and weight of different types of mowers (as well as other equipment) that work best for your particular tractor.

The biggest problem you are going to find with a tractor your size, is finding a small enough mower you can get started. Disc mowers require the most power getting them started turning.
Limited hay production.(Small fields). I see them small enough to run on a bx2200. I would think that I have enough hp at 38.5 and pto of 31

If you're wanting to cut hay...I've got an Enorossi B-150. It's a sickle bar mower, double action with hyd. lift cylinder in excellent condition. Can use as small as 12HP (I think). It will mow 90 deg. up and 75 deg down, so you can mow your pond dam or your hedges!! Get all parts at Messicks
I'll sell it for $1800. Here's one just like it on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/i/122958074907?chn=ps

Have you considered a drum mower? They require less HP pr ft of cut than a disc mower.

The prices of the miniature implements is down right stupid expensive. 
Heck with those prices might as well buy a bigger tractor and more land!

I just laugh at that small stuff when I try to imagine how long it would take to mow my neighbors little 3.5 acre field with something have the size of my lawn mower.

Not much difference in the price of small stuff as it is to go full size. Factor the time it would take to cut, rake and bale a field and it probably cost more.

That always seemed unfair a woman's shoe size 5 cost about the same as a mans 13. Same with gloves, shirts, jeans...just about everything.
