  • I made this mechanical tow behind mower for my ATV basically from junk. Although I had to buy the rear axle, a few bearings and some V-belts, this project was made from scrap metal and other recycled materials. I hope you enjoy watching! #mowing #mower #ATV #grass #DonnDIY #eestiyoutuber
    I got the idea from a RUclips user Roadracing Mustang. His video is located at • My Homemade Mower . Check it out! It's brilliant!

    Love how you made the blades to survive rocks and still keep cutting. Ingenious idea. No doubt your invention will outlast anything on the market today. Also like the fact that there is no engine to maintain. Thanks for posting.

  • @theshovster8505
    @theshovster8505 5 лет назад +10

    Lot of comments about folks not having a lathe but the pulleys you made can be found at any automotive junkyard and for the blades a couple of old mower decks and a little ingenuity could of been used instead of the things you made. That being said, GREAT JOB, love it!

    • @Iexpedite1
      @Iexpedite1 5 лет назад

      Speaking of dopes...Shovster wasn’t criticizing the builder. He was criticizing the people that claim he was only able to achieve it because he had specialty tools. His point is, even though the builder used a lathe, which not everyone has. The project is achievable with off the shelf parts.

    • @chucksherron

      @Mark Magoo he still wasn't being critical. You are defending someone who doesn't need to be defended.

    • @Iexpedite1
      @Iexpedite1 5 лет назад

      Mark Magoo
      Again, he wasn’t being critical. You can find pulleys and mower decks and with a little ingenuity achieve the same outcome. That doesn’t mean a guy that knows how to use a lathe and built his own parts lacks ingenuity. Obviously it takes ingenuity to build your own parts. So, it must mean that there are multiple ways a person can achieve this outcome and not having access to a lathe is no excuse.

    Wow, that *really* does work! I was a little dubious at first, but once you added the swing away knives and the weight boxes, it started to look serious. Some shielding would be a really good idea, especially chain mail style so it follows contours and keeps any debris or a flung knife inside.
    That is one impressive machine!

    Only thing I would have added would be some kind of guard to keep it from throwing rocks at your back. Mine would be aligned for higher cut, brush work, not lawn quality. Been wanting a propulsion powered brush hog - wide cut for field work. But getting killed or wounded for your efforts isn't my thing. Really needs some kind of guard.

    If I didn't know what wheels Ladas use, I'd say those are from a VW bug.

      @ironmartysharpe8293 5 лет назад

      I definitely agree , The blades need to be guarded to protect against flying objects thrown by the blade and if a blade comes off , There have been incidents when lawnmower blades have snapped or come off , Whether a blade snaps or comes off or throws a rock or other object , You never know where that flying object is gonna go and could be coming right at you , That's just one of the many reasons why machine guarding is so important , I can understand that after putting in all that time and effort to build that lawnmower He's very anxious to try out , But Still , You need to ask yourself is it worth taking the risk of serious injury , And unfortunately when accidents happen , They happen faster than a heartbeat

    I would not call it JUNK. You used all these materials smart.
    Plus, you have lathe, welding machine, big angle grinder, big garage....
    I am envious....
    Here is a project-idea.
    Emergency generators are big problem.
    You only use them 1 in 5-10 years. Most people do not conserve them properly, and when the hurricane comes, they realize the carburetor is gone.
    At the same time, the tractor riding mower is used and maintained on a regular base and starts instantly (most of the times).
    How difficult is to make an attachment for the riding lawn mower, that will produce 110 V AC???
    Purchase a generator with bad gas motor, you will probably pay $20-50, or even free.
    Remove the gas motor, and dispose properly.
    Make a stand or a frame for the dynamo to fix it vertical.
    Attach a pulley on the low end of the dynamo shaft.
    Attach the frame to the front of the tractor. with bolts.
    Disconnect the belt for the blades and/or the drive.
    Attach the tractor pulley to the dynamo pulley with a belt.
    Start the engine.
    Biggest problem is the small gas tank on tractor, compared to the generator.
    Second problem is, that the client should know how to use hand tools and be ready to get dirty and apply a bit of elbow grease.
    Biggest advantage is that the dynamo alone is smaller and lighter, takes less space than whole generator, and does not need constant maintenance.
    The gas generator engine is the same size as the lawn mower tractor.

    The well thought out execution kinda takes away from the charm of a redneck brush hog. It needs rebar.

    Add Spikes to the tires to get more grip for POWER and to Aerate!

    • @cjpharmboy

      Haha I was about to say the same thing.. do solid wheels with welded spikes for ballast and traction, Not to mention aeration

    • @cjpharmboy
      @cjpharmboy 6 лет назад

      Also with the added traction and ballast you could add rotors for a wider swath

      Making any sharp turns with tire spikes would rip up the sod though

    • @jhitt79
      @jhitt79 6 лет назад +3

      You would only aerate two little strips each pass though.

    Ну ты крут автор! Идея на 6+! Класс! Надо тебе налаживать производство (-: Лайк и респект однозначно! Возьми пример с людей делающих Каракат, они тоже используют б/у запчасти от жигулей. Если будет адекватная цена, то я первый готов купить! Мне надо регулярно обкашивать 1-2 гектара.

    Although you did a great job, but most People would preferred in the " front " of the ATV. The Wheels from your ATV would flatten the Grass and that leave some grass would be an uneven cut! :(((((((((((((((

    That is most excellent man! Well done, it is difficult working with older rusted metal. I've used it mostly in many of my projects. I am so glad I stumbled on to this channel. Nice job bud!

    • @DonnDIY
      @DonnDIY  8 лет назад +2

      I appreciate it! I have to agree on using rusted metal. Definitely makes the job a bit harder.

  • @dhansel4835

    I had one similar when I was growing up. The problem is when you have tall grass you want the blade to spin faster as the tractor or 4 wheeler moves slower.
    If you try to make the mower attachment spin faster you just bog it down in the tall grass.
    If you have to stop quickly the mower will push you along while you have the brake on the 4 wheeler engaged.
    It would be better to find and fix up a riding mower.
    Nice effort......

    Rigs like this will push the ATV or whatever is being used to pull it. Without having a method to disconnect the blades, the centrifugal force of their rotation will propel the differential.
