Fence Line Trimmer

[skent]

I've never seen one of these before. . . .

Trailer this baby behind your GT or ATV and ride the fence line. When you encounter a post, the mower deck swivels in and around the post. Once you've passed the post, it swings out and under the fence. Somebody was thinking. . . . .

That looks like a great idea.

I bet that would be better than useing a big trimmer.Does it have a clutch of some type if a stone etc.. got caught?

That looks like an upside down version of what I think is called a flail mower.

Check out Knight9's post in <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&amp;Board=off&amp;Number=56107&am p;page=&amp;view=&amp;sb=&amp;o=&amp;vc=1>this thread</A>. He posted a link to a picture that shows something similar.

Looks like a real handy implement! What brand is it and who sells it? What's the price? I've been contemplating trying to fabricate a 3pt hitch trimmer that runs off the PTO, but haven't gotten anywhere with it yet.

If you're into making your own, check out <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.thestgeorgeco.com/catalogue/Farm_Forestry/Orchard/body_orchard.html>this web page</A>. About midway through the page they sell an optional swing arm side cutter mowing head similiar to the one on the above attachment.
