Have you thought about putting a creeper gear in the 126 to help solve your mowing issues? I've never mowed with a gear drive so I can't say from experience if it would help or not. I've only ever mowed with a 48" deck (three different ones) and I'm never dissatisfied by how they cut. I've also used a 50" on a 782 and I'd take the 48" on a N/F tractor all the time.
