Hmmm, point well taken. Perhaps it should be mounted on a more vertical plane? I mean, so you could mow the floor or the wall (so to speak) or anywhere in between, and full dump position would still leave the operator above the plane?
It is a gas engine, you cannot tilt it too much hence deprive it from oil.
While it could be done, I don't think most CUT's have the required flow rate to really support a hydraulic motor on a mower like this. Maybe a skid steer, they have much larger hydraulic pumps for driving attachments like this, but not most CUT's.
Well they have those Lane Sharks and that only needs 8.5-12 gpm. My tractor has 8.7 gpm.
It rans buy 4 cycle motor, the 3rd function flow is usually not enough to spin the blades tho i read somewhere there is a company makes them for FFL.

I think you'll find that flow to your 3rd function is fully or partially interrupted each time you lift or curl the loader. Hydraulic motors don't freewheel nicely when flow through them is stopped, so you're really going to be shaking the hell out of things each time you move the loader. Brush cutters don't like to be slammed on and off, with full braking action on the drive motor, each time you curl or change height of the loader. So, if doing this, I guess you'd want to rig up some sort of overrun clutch.
