Very nice! If I could make one suggestion (which you may have already thought about) maybe put some skids on the front and back of the bottom of the deck so that the corners can't dig into the ground when swinging and would double as wear protection.
Sir , you are a very gifted individual . This has to be the coolest thing I’ve seen on one of these mini excavators . I’ve been wanting one for awhile now and I think I’m going to have to get one !!
I’m amazed that hydraulic motor could handle all that demand for such a high flow situation. Sorry I may have missed it but does this model use a 5/16 or 1/4 inch auxiliary line?
Nice but you need to put a ONE WAY CHECK VALVE plumed in to the orbit motor for the mower so when you turn it off it can free wheel to a stop and not to a SUDDEN stop like it is doing now. You will blow seals on things doing it that way.. Other than that GREAT job looks GREAT!!!
@@kevincrawford2027 Hard to explain but here it goes. Hose from machine to a T fitting hose to motor on input side then out put of motor hose to a T fitting and hose back to machine. Now the ONE WAY check valve goes between the 2 T's of the feed line and return line of the motor. Hope you understand that. And with the check valve the orbit motor will ONLY spin one way under power BUT will FREE WHEEL when turned off.
@@kevincrawford2027 You are gonna want that check valve cause you will BLOW SEALS on the orbit motor and maybe even the excavator. I'm a welder and convert 3point attachments to fit on skidloaders ( mowers snowblowers and such) But you did a really good build I like it!!
Ive wanted to make something similar to this but with its own engine powering it so the main engine doesnt have to rev or make the controls jumpy. I think I have everything to do it, just not the time yet. Thanks for sharing your video series on this!!
Your a genius @Papaunk love it!!!. Looking forward to having you in the community. Thanks for joining... What are the rpm's on that thing? Curious how this effects the hydraulic temperature.
I will check some time. It's put away now till I get something to mow. It doesn't run as fast as a regular lawn mower. The motor pulley is a little less than half the size of the spindle pulley. Motor rpm was around 2500/3000 so a little less than 1500 max I would guess.
This was a truly good video. It inspired me to do the same. Im going to be starting with an old Gravely push brush cutter head. I'll have to machine a coupler to convert from shaft drive to a hydraulic motor. What is the flow rate for the auxilery Hydro lines for the QH12? I'm thinking to use a 2500RPM motor. What did you use?
I just used what I had laying around because I wasn't sure if it would work. I don't know any of the specs. It is small and uses a lot of the hydraulic for its size but has plenty of power. If not on a level surface moving is very slow with the mower on. Most of my mowing is done using the slewing anyway.
ran across this just today, first I have seen other than your diy mower here! ruclips.net/user/shortseJ50dw-xduw they also have a sickle bar attachment they said cost 1,000usd.
Well done, I want to build one for my excavator.!!!
Thank you Paul

I really appreciate guys like you who can build whatever they imagine. Respect
That's a real neck saver for mowing banks and ditches. Well done.
How does it affect your hydraulic flow running that motor constantly? Is yours a dual pump model?
It does slow the other functions down. It is a single pump.
Excellent build! That’s some quality work 👍🏻

5/16@@joecasalena8263
nice little cutter. Solid work.
That is some really nice fabrication. You sir are gifted.

Thanks for the suggestion. Would that go on the input side of the motor?

@@mikem3161 Thanks good explanation. I do use the reverse rotation sometimes to clear stringy grass that winds up around the shaft.

Run a case drain line back to the tank for less restriction and less oil heat. The tank should have another port welded in for this already.
Sweet machine!
looks great. thanks for sharing.
Awesome job!! works great.

I would like to see that sound like a very good idea
Very nice I love watching your videos keep posting them 😀
Dont think I would be filming the open side of that mower myself..... 💀☠

@@kevincrawford2027 I just need it to keep my wooded areas a little more open. Keep up the good work, I love your channel!
Thats really cool. Thanks for sharing its been fun to follow. Sorry I suck so much at commenting. But see all your videos. God Bless brother..
Been thinking on building one of these for my bank. Was wondering if they move enough fluid to spin a Hydraulic powered mower
What little I have used mine so far seems to work ok. It does slow down the other functions some but not enough to be a problem.
I would call that a success.
what orbit motor you use
The rabbit might be slow but it won the race.
Hell I would buy one from you
Well he can come and clean the front embankment of the cemetery i take care of.

That is so dangerous
