Our two four legged drive grass cutters-my wife on the Westwood towing the modified flail mower

That flail mower looks some beast.

 

I like the four leg drive piebald grass cutter as well.

I was just thinking that flail is quite a machine! Not quite as good as the horses....

She`s a retired skewbald- got brown on her, not just the mud! The flail is a Rousseau front mounted unit for a quad. I fitted the front wheels from my 312-8 on a frame adjusted by an old jockey wheel jack, casters on the front and a 9hp Honda. I`ve just bought another BCS complete with flail  and wood chipper/shredder attachments.pics when I get the chance.

I think we should start calling Ranger Rick

 

The tow behind flail mower looks like a handy bit of kit to have

Should this be in the 'Home built items' section?    Pulled this out of the spare stable/hay barn, I made this a couple of years ago out of an old oxy bottle, some scrap channel, an old oak fence post, (for bearings) J D front wheels and other assorted pieces from the 'come in handy' pile. My original intention was to make a smaller version of the fold up rollers the big boys use and pull it behind the Wheelhorse, but I ran out of spare bottles. With the wheels in place it fits nicely through the stable door. By pulling the lever the roll is lifted or lowered. The spike tooth harrow is one of a set of three I bought from the 'Cheffins' machinery sale a couple of months ago

Ingenious.
