Convert Brush Mower to Two Wheel Plow/Grader?

[Diggin It]

I have this thing:



It separates just in front of the wheels (under the muffler) and accepts some other attachments like a finish mower or generator head. Without any attachments, it's basically a two wheel power head/tractor. I have a project where I'll need to push and grade gravel in an area too close for the tractor loader bucket. So, I got to wondering if there was a way I could mount a sort of grader blade on the front of this thing.

Ideas?

I have a 3 point 5' landscape rake I might be able to use and I've been considering a 5' rear blade, so maybe ..... ????

The project area is inside a shed I'm working on and isn't huge, but it's more than I really want to do with hand shovels and rakes. Plus I might have other tasks for this later if I can get something worked out.

You're going to ruin a nice (and hard to find) brush mower to make a sub-par two wheel tractor plow. That transmission wasn't designed to push and pull like a BCS or Grillo tractor. You're not going to get enough traction with those little tires to do much of anything even if you have diff. lock. Put bigger tires on it and try to plow and you'll likely screw up the transmission. You could get at least a couple grand for that thing used like it is. I'd sell it and put that towards a purpose built two wheel tractor.

Also FYI you can make really good money on small residential brush mowing jobs with that unit if you're willing to do it.

Don't think the frame strong enough.

Looks like a very nice machine.
If you mount something up front how you would you raise and lower the blade for grading.? Or do you just lift up from the handle bars.? Not sure if I'd want the weight of 5' blade out there.

I agree with wesp521984 it isn't heavy enough to do much . If it is worth $2k sell it and buy a Gravely professional model 2 wheeler blades are cheap and you could still mow with a Bush hog deck
