Boom type bank mower

[johndeere2210]

I just finished testing out the boom mower that I have been working on this winter. Except for the carb float developing a hole, it worked great.

It is powered by a 4 HP Tecumseh 2 cycle engine

Kind of like a 21" weed wacker with a seat. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I will probably use it as is this summer and when all the bugs are worked out I will sandblast it and paint it.

Great looking project and even better that it works good.

That is a wacky looking mower. Very neat project. Control must be kind of interesting. How many valves does it take and what does each do?

Ron neat looking gadget.

When it's fully extended does it give you the sensation of a tipsy ride with the turf tires that you use?
