At least very close to right.
A few years ago, we mounted a 30" lawn mower deck on our FEL & powered it with a hydraulic motor.
It kept progressing through building a heavier deck. Heavier blade. Swinging blade ends. ETC.
Recently we changed the mount. Installed a heavier spindle and adapted it to use either the swinging blade (think bush hog) or a 29" saw blade we had in the junk pile.
It is mounted in a trailer hitch mount so it can be rotated full circle, by hand in 90 degree increments. It also will rotate a little over 90 deg with hydraulics from the cab. It is about 11' long (in front of the FEL) so it has about a 15' working height.
I think we just about have it so we can get some production out of it.
It will cut off a 4" limb so fast it doesn't have time to bind on the saw blade, when cutting from the side, while running the tractor at 1400 RPM.
Well, we got our pictures attached, out of order. If you will look at 2, then 3, then 4, then 1, it might make sense.
Picture 1 is the same tree as picture 4, about 8 minutes later.
