Marriage of two machines!

Recommended Posts

CAN YOU TELL WHAT IT IS YET!!

Who can recognise the parts ??

After  I changed the engine on my Gutbrod 1032 I had a very heavy mower deck. I also had a small Murrey ride on with no deck.

I have several areas of grass which are right upto very large hedges so it has alot of suckers growing underneath. I made this trailed mower to get under the hedge and cope with the brush without getting scratched when mowing. it can be towed directly behind a machine or  to either side. 

It is the hole Gutbrod deck and the rear chassis mounting the engine from the Murry. Hight adjustable via old jocky wheel and solid rear tyres. It proves to be that successful I had to put flaps at the rear as it was throwing sticks 20ft out the back. :D

Great bit of kit :thumbs::thumbs:

 

My version of this involves a quad, front mounted flail mower with castor wheels on the front, I added an adjustable pair of wheels at the rear, and towed it round to cut the paddocks. I've now modified it again by cutting off the castors and adding a towbar which flips over for centre or offset towing. First pic shows the four wheeled version.

Great looking bit of kit.

I am thinking of making something to mow over the edge and down into a ditch. Thinking along the lines of a push rotory mower side mounted to allow over the bank.

I have a need for a machine that mows over banking , I am told it must be either two stroke or electric because it will seize due to lack of oil if you tilt a four stroke too far.

You could try using a hydraulic drive, by using a suitable pump, a motor, oil cooler and tank ( and hoses) you could use the tank as a counterbalance for the arm and cutting head.

By plumbing the motor directly to the pump, you don't need any control valves, just a relief valve if you stall the blade.

Driving the pump from a pto will give you on/off control.

What about one of those robot mowers the council use, Jonathan? Very expensive I know.

A late friend of mine fixed a strimmer to the front of his ride on for mowing a short bank in his garden.
