Yes, in most conditions if you do not plan to cut heavy grass closely and at high speed.

Brush Hogs are usually 5' but a 6' will work fine on a FORD 3000. The N's were designed to pull a 5' or 6' mower and the Hundred Series could pull a 7' cutter so a 3000 3-CYL Diesel wouldn't break a sweat. Rated 40 hp, a 3000 can pull a 3-Bottom Plow. Just to clarify, BUSH HOG is a brand name; BRUSH HOG is the right term with the correct term being a Rotary Mower. Be sure your mower has the stump jumper feature. If hogging old undergrowth, best to walk the property first for signs of old logs, refrigerators, cars, big rocks/boulders, and Jimmy Hoffa. May need to make two passes if weeds are really high.

Should have mentioned if equipped with 4X2 transmission, rather than 4 speed, which is geared very high, limiting usefulness.
