HA, Ha, Ha .... :laughing:
I mentioned this project last year, but just got around to it. I wanted a way to mow around the pond with the ZTR, without falling in. So, my thought was an old rotary mower, mounted to the ZTR. My head was working on all of these high-tech mounts, so the mowers would overlap, etc.. I gave up on that and went with "simple".
I welded up two brackets to mount to the rotary mower, which would drop into the ZTR guide wheel pockets. .. simple enough. I also, added a chain to suspend the outboard side. Plus, it will raise and lower, somewhat, with the mower deck.
I gave it a try and it seems to work, as I had hoped. I really hated weed whacking around the pond!
Isn't it beautiful? Does it need new paint?
