Lisa,
    I would go for the overrunning clutch for the pto with the bush hog.  It 
will make for safer easier operation.  As far as the narrow front end, 
unless you have rolling terrain and hills you should be fine.  And a loader 
for $300 is a handy item for sure.

Thanks much for the responses to my overrun question-

so-- do we think I really should install one before operating the bush hog 
"squeeler" ??? This model is a pull type and it says the operating max PTO 
speed is 540---- which is (unless I'm mistaken) the speed of the H's . It's 
6ft wide and the blade(s)  are the type attached to an oval shape doo dad 
and they are not fixed, they swing/flail whatever. Pardon my lack of proper 
terminology ... ;-)

I would get an overrun if it was the best way to go--- I'm just not clear 
whether this particular bushhog has the inertia/rotation that would cause me 
trouble without an overrun?

another kind of dumb question---just how tippy is an H say if you are doing 
mowing and bush hogging on lumpy bumpy old fields that never had a single 
stone pulled out of them?   ;-) I have a junker H for parts with a wide 
front end I could mount up.

last question for now--- saw a McCormick Deering loader for sale-- model is 
supposed to mount up to the H.  Old fellah next door said "Oh don't bother 
with one of those" I was kinda thinking for a couple hundred bucks to have a 
loader that is made for the H-- so that I could move some manure from point 
A to point B... didn't seem too bad? i uderstand you have to use a hand trip 
to dump the bucket. Frame and bucket(s) a big and a small) looked 
good--maybe needed to replace or machine the cylinders. price was $300
