I have a 4700. Midmount mower has advantages, but it can't be used if you intend to reverse the front and rear wheels for wider wheelbase (gauge wheels on mower are in the way). I mow hillsides, so need the stability.
4700 is the largest/most HP tracter I could find with hydrostatic trans.
With 2x100 rear wheel weights and FEL, it comes to apprx 5500 lbs. The weight allows me to transport with a car-hauler trailer (wheels just clear the side rails). The utes weight much more, making them hard to trailer.
I like it overall a lot, but the ergonomics of the NH Boomer series (eg. 45D) are very attractive -- many features that JD should have thought of. JD has dropped a few onto the updated 4x10 series, but not enough.

I mowed 7 acres with first a 755 then a 955, both with the 272 mower -- both performed fine.
Now I have a 4700 with a Landpride FDR25-84" rear discharge. Strongly recommend the rear discharge feature, especially if you can't mow frequently and regularly.

Can 855 handle a rear mount 6 039 finish mower
