Hi Guys

I have a good friend who spends many hours each week mowing at a local cemetery. This is a volunteer position and not a paid position. Due to all the headstones there is a lot of trimming. He had been talking about designing and building a deck mounted string trimmer that would have spring pressure etc to have to go around obstacles such as headstones etc. As we discussed it it came into play that this may already be on the market. I found these two devices on YouTube but either I had the wrong keywords for my search or this topic may not have been kicked around here?


Here痴 a product video- no video of it in action- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7rFFfcNwy8

This one has footage- even in a cemetary- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouRvF94dB6M

If anyone has any knowledge of similar devices or has seen a thread on TBN about this I'd love some feedback
Thanks
Sam

There are a bunch designed for zero turns, so try a search for ztr string trimmer.

Thanks for the responses guys, we're still looking at the options. It's truly amazing to see some of the things TBNers have dreamed up and built.

Without looking at the photos.. I do remember a guy who added a 12 volt motor and an arm setup to the front left side of his riding mower . It had a string trimmer that would trim along the building sides... A small guide wheel and some springs allowed it to ride a bit out from the deck edge .. I think it cut 12"" wider than the deck ... I think it was in Farm Show , not sure when though ...

I have a string trim mower but a lot of fence line to trim and I'm not a young man anymore. Was thinking of mounting it on my front loader on my SCUT, somehow. Could raise and lower and adjust the tilt angle with the bucket controls and the distance to the fence with the front wheels. Don't want to too heavily modify the mower so could convert it back to pushing it. Any one done something like this??

DR equipment has one designed for trimming along fences and around posts that looks like it would do the job.
