Some of us Power Trac owners are looking to make our life a little bit easier by creating a mulch attachment. But we thought that many of you have wished you would have such an ability too..
What are your thoughts on such an attachment?
Here are some of a Power Trac, a John Deer front mower owner and my own requirements:
Your ideal attachment would be a scoop?
Your ideal attachment would be a trailer?
What kind of obstacles do you encounter on your property which will dictate the dimensions of this attachment?
How long would it be?
How tall would it be?
How wide would it be?
How much mulch would you like to carry?
How would you like to power this attachment?
How would pull, push, carry this attachment?
What type of tractor would you use?
How would you load the material?
Does the attachment have to be self-loading?
How would you want to control the amount of mulch dropped on the bed?
What other uses could this attachment be used for?
What would you be willing to pay for such an attachment?
In my case I have a 425 Power Trac which gives me a great advantage as far as loading, moving and powering of the attachment go. I am not so sure yet of how to get the mulch to a very specific location in a bed.
Many of you will point out that there are blowers out there (costing $35k and better). In my case that is not a solution and the two other users mentioned before just have large properties were such an expense is frivolous.
What are your thoughts? Negative answers are very welcome!
