Tow behind batwing mower

[Mith]

Hi there Thomas,
the seat takes most the stuff, not much flies up high enough to hit me. Hoping to have a cab done by spring when I'll be using it next. Thanks.

LB, if it is almost straight up then 14" should be plenty to mow out across them. The tractor with the duals is good up till 45 degrees across slopes, after that I worry about the engines ability to keep oiled.
Do you have a picture of these banks? Youve pretty much rejected almost every possible way of mowing banks for some reason or another. I dont think I would put any machine of mine near the top of a near vertical 12' bank. Too much chance of landslide. You should build a wall to support it.

Neat idea but I don't think you would find me using it. It might be great for cutting grass but it would also be great at killing people with those exposed blades. Do yourself and everyone within about a 150 yard radius a huge favor and add some housing's to the blades. We don't want you or your neighbor to be the next candidate for the Darwin award.

.

1*I need up to about 3 or 4 feet to reach out over a road ditch.
2*Excep a telescoping mower.
4* That's the reason for the telescoping feature-to keep the tractor further away from the edges of the banks and ditches.
5* Wall not really practical as the long range plan is to fill the area in.

I agree .
I would also make one of the wings teloscoping rather than folding or hinged.
