Here's a link to the Kuhn website. You will find tractor requirements and mower specs. I did a quick look, and your tractor would probably just barely meet min HP for a GMD600. (8') Probably better the 500. (6 1/2') But, it's not just HP that you have to consider. Your tractor also has to be big and heavy enough to handle the weight of the mower. (if it's 3 point hitch) I run a GMD600 on my NH TN70A with no problem. But, that's a larger, heavier tractor with more HP than yours. I've never tried it on a smaller tractor.
A disc mower should cut a lot faster than your sickle bar haybine. When I'm cutting, my ground speed is usually around 5 mph.
