Deere Mower Deck on Front End Loader

[npalen]

I'm seeing glimpses of this on Deere TV ads but haven't found it online yet.
Anyone familiar with it? I'm curious how they are driving a mower deck on the FEL.

Most likely with hydraulics.

More than likely it is a ad about the optional load-n-go brackets for the mower decks. These allow you to use the loader to pick up the deck after you have removed it.

This is how you install the load-n-go:

The add shows them mowing the lawn not storing it in the shed. I believes add is about 1 series deeres

Always thought that would be a cool attachment - an SSQA hydro-mower for CUT/SCUT's. I would be all over that, but have never seen one. Maybe it's not feasible, not enough hydro pump capacity..Dunno.... just seems like it would be really useful.

Probably would require a dedicated PTO pump hydraulic system but, yes, its an interesting concept. Would be really good for stirring up elevated hornet's nests.

Agree 100%. It would be great for cutting under trees and working around stuff or near pond/lade banks. I have thought about putting a gas powered one a SSQA plate. Imagine being able to use a cabbed A/C tractor to mow grass during those miserable hot days and keeping the bugs at bay as well.

Something like this:

Anyone see any downside to such a thing? I was looking at getting a ZT but it still will not mow under pine trees. This would.

Also changing blades and cleaning the deck would be much easier with a FEL mounted deck.

Even if the tractor had the pump to run the deck (it doesn't), it sure doesn't have the cooler to cool the fluid.

Not seeing what you're pointing at. Just brings up the Norther Tools website. Can you describe the product?

I suppose you could also configure a typical mid-PTO setup similar to a snowblower....probably a better method for smaller tractors. To a lesser extent, a self-powered (small gas motor) deck like I assume is referenced above, could also work, especially as a DIY project.

You'd think, with the "universal'ism" of SSQA, someone would have something like this. :confused3:

48” Hydraulic Skid Steer Flail Mower

Does anyone make a self contained PTO hydraulic system for CUT's? The hydraulic presence (or lack thereof) seems to always be a limiting factor for the small tractors.

Guess one has to do a search on "ssqa mower" on the above site to find the hydraulic flail mower.

No videos or pictures.
I just recall seeing this advertisement on TV a couple of times so video is somewhere. I faintly recall also being about some family or referencing a family being more productive with Deere. I think the same advertisement also showed storing the deck with the loader.

Slight possibility was belly mower shot at an angle to look like loader mount but 99 percent certain it was loader mount with grass coming out the chute.

As I recall, there was a post here showing how a fellow converted a rear brush mower to a front hydraulic drive loader mounted deal. Pump was run by a rear PTO driven fed by LARGE tank/cooler up front. There ought to be a You Tuber [That will be MR. PotatoHead to you. ] view out there by now.

Like so: (quite a few videos out there).

Sorry about that. It is a 66” pull mower that can be pulled by an ATV. Thinking of a way to mount it on pallet forks or a SSQA

....or like a ATV pulled mower with the Deere Load-N-Go brackets mounted to it. :confused3:

TTWT did a Youtube video at a farm/trade show last (?) year sometime that had a few details on this one:

TrailBlazer Attachments


I think it was "coming soon" at the time? Can't recall the details off the top of my head. I think they also said in same video that they had another model coming as well. I'll try to look up the actual video.

Their website info is pretty sparse for some reason.
