L4701 with 3rd Function

[Mwendorf]

Hello,
I have a L4701 with the third function hydraylics that most of the time I use with a landpride grapple on the front. I'm considering, however, getting a sickle bar mower I can use to cut overgrown sides of trails with. There are different brands availalble but what I'm considering is a Wolverine SBM-12-72w (there are several available at auction near me). It's set up with quick attach for a skid steer, but looks like it would work great on the front of the tractor.
Anybody have any experience with a setup like this or know if that would work?
thanks!

I knpw zip about that mower but a quick search indicates 9-22 GPM flow. I think thats not going to be a good match for your tractor with its 7.8 GPM implement pump.
