Since I have a TC29D I think I can respond to most of your questions. I have the six foot mid mount mower , it is suspended by the center of the tractor, and runs off the mid pto, but the lifting is thru the rear 3 point hitch arms. the way this works is a couple springs and arms and shafts, which "float" the deck, this way there is not too much weight on the deck wheels. I think this system works great for regular mowing. I use the three point hitch all the time with the mid mount deck in place

That said I also will complain that I do not like the height the deck lifts to, When I am doing serious off road type work the deck comes off, good news is this can be done in five minutes without tools. on my tractor to remove quickly (I have super steer) I have to turn the wheels all the way to one side, the deck has to be set to a mid or low mowing height, after unhooking four pins, and the driveshaft, I rotate the deck and it rolls out.

Note that these levers and springs remain on the tractor, I did damage them a little while doing 5 acres of heavy brush hog work
1 to 1.5 inch saplings

the mid mount mower is 100% mechanical, no added hydraulics, I am not sure about your questions on other attachments because I dont have them, but I have used the bush hog for light work with the mower deck in place.

I did have to remove some of the mounting brackets for my
mid mount mower when I put on the front mount snowblower.

I had to make the same choice, and I live in upstate ny where we get
150+ inches of snow, for me I chose a snowblower, and did not buy the front
loader. The only problem is a six foot NH front mount blower is very expensive a rear mounted blower is less but a little harder to use.

yes I seriously considered the comercial mower route, it would be
better under the trees. But I am thinking that for future use
and for resale the compact diesel will be better.
I also like the Idea of pushing a heavy snowblower with more mass
the tractor weighs 1000 pounds more than the comercial mower.
By the way I ordered my TC29D with super steer a month ago
it will ship in two weeks
apperantly a part shortage slowed it down
(factor originally told dealer two weeks to ship)

yes I agree with the last post and now am facing reality
what I will do is wait till next year, and buy a rototiller for
my 3 point hitch instead of beating the clay with tines
