So most front loaders use a skid steer bucket attachment. Has anyone put a skid steer brush mower on a tractor. Realize the tractor hydraulic flow is lower than a skid steer, so there will have to be some re-engineering.
Skid Steer Brush Mower on Front Loader

Such mowers are too heavy and require more hydraulic flow than is available from your tractor's system to operate effectively. Besides, FELS are not made for such devices.
Yes, I know that there are light duty devices sold for such purposes.

I own and run tractors and a track loader. I have several front cutting attachments for my track loader, my brush cutter is just under 1,600 lbs and runs at 30GPM on the hydraulics. Tractor FEL capability runs off real quick as you move away from the mounting pins or plate. I would not even consider my Kubota MX5800 as suitable to even move this cutter let alone try to run and handle it no matter what modifications you were thinking. Tractors and track loaders are very different machines!

That’s a good option, it has a rear pto hydraulic powered pack option which users recommend. It’s very functional and has vertical cutting too. Not sure it’s rated for a 525 loader, seems most videos are on MX tractors with 1065 loader. I looked at one for vertical cutting forest trails using my MX5800 but saving my money up for front articulating brush hog for track loader as they are much more heavy duty and can be used in my cab machine, much safer
