electric lawn mower on backhoe. Yea I am going to do it

[LittleBill21]

I just saw this on facebook, and was shocked i didn't think of it, I have a ton of weird and off angle cuts, where it takes me 3 hours 2 tanks of gas and 100 feet of line. there is no way I am not attempting this, I almost bought a mini x and a hydro conversion to do a similar thing.

Been there and finally solved it by fencing it off and letting the cattle do the work.

This week the plan is to fence around the last real problems below the pond dam if it stops raining long enough.

yea cattle aren't going to work here, and I feel the cost of cattle is higher, then what a lawn care guy would charge me monthly

2 questions:

Could you add a 2nd or 3rd mower to the pack ? My neighbor uses 3 gas mowers in tandem.

Can you manage to operate the mowers while sitting in the tractor operation seat position ?

Ideal ditch/bank mower setup !

It also might work as a hedge trimmer.

I built a linear actuator setup to move the tractor from the backhoe seat. gas won't work with the angles i plan to use it, motor will starve of oil, but 11 inch electric mower should work great
