Title: ride on/in mower
Post by: Baloo on October 16, 2011, 02:49:04 AM: hi

l needed a big mower for cutting my buggy track, everything l looked at was either way to dear or a complete wreck, so l set about making one myself, rather than retype everything l will just give you a link but first a few specs and pics
but it did change specs a few times along the way

started wanting to use a mazda diesel engine complete with auto box out of a lwb sidekick
but it was way too long so l ended up with a peugeot diesel engine with a manual box
rear engined, hydraulic steer, 4 wheeldrive using a lada niva transfer box and suzuki sj axles
was going to make my own cutting deck but ended up buying a set of hydraulic drive cutting decks cheap
and a smart car body so as l can mower with the cd player on in the rain

Post by: Baloo on October 16, 2011, 01:28:20 PM: thank you chaps

my workshop which you probabally think is tiny is considered quite big over here l get some stick over the size of it on my local buggy forum lol most others have to make do with a single car garage which is 16' by 7' over here :o
so l am spoilt

will find you some later pics but its not finished yet l have this and a buggy project, l work on one till l am stuck for parts then switch over to the other project, been working on the buggy for the last few weeks,
as winter is arriving l wont need the mower just yet although l might be fitting a snow plough on the front
