- 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 TH-cam user Roadracing Mustang. His video is located at • My Homemade Mower . Check it out! It's brilliant!

This is not your average DIY, this is advanced redneckery.
Very well done!
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.
Very good work. I also saw that video, but decided to buy two sheep and a ram.
Now I have the meadow like a carpet and in September we have a lamb.
Muitos pensam e poucos consegue fazer, parabéns pelo seu trabalho.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I had to watch this twice, it works so well! What an amazing machine. The drive gearing ratio is massive with the diff ratio + the chain drive ratio + belt pulley ratio. Great job, good fabrication, especially with scrap steel and components.
As an engineer, I'm always impressed with your ingenuity and problem solving skills when building machinery. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks!
+DowneastThunder Your supportive opinion as an engineer means a lot to me. Thank you!
Do you know what “copy” means?
Chancellor Wewuz Its not the same thing in case you haven’t noticed
Rzr racing same idea, same concept. Same thing. A dangerous mess.
Chancellor Wewuz That implies that all cars are the same because they all have 4 wheels
Лайк огромный !!! Мужик вместо плазмы в пол квартиры станки купил и любимым делом занимается !!! Ну, просмотры, лайки и подписки понятно, а кто за такое дизлайки ставит, про таких даже промолчу вообще....
Удачи коллега, и всего доброго !!!👍👍👍
Ну а если ещё и сидение замутить и коня запрячь то и трактореныш не понадобится... Похоже именно такие косилки описываются в произведениях М. Шолохова.
Amazing!!! Fascinating watching your fabrication process, absolute MacGuyver Genius!
Golf clubs can look into this.....will save them millions on expensive equipment. Not for greens but fairways maintenance at half the cost.
Most likely one of the best mowers ever built!! Nice work and it looks like it cuts grass with no effort!!
Amazing work with spare junk in the shed. Love it. Also just love idea
Love seeing stuff being made from nothing. Makes me feel like I am not alone when I do things like this. Great
I did the same when I got my VA Power scooter..Hooked up my 18" Gas LM and then following yr. Ryboi came out with their CELM and I been using that these past 4 yrs ! Got Freedom and can Mow my Own Lawn again.. VG Helping other Veterans do the same ever since..
Just got home from repairing a 16 row planter that broke in half.
Love this stuff. Just don't have time.
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!
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.
@Mark Magoo he still wasn't being critical. You are defending someone who doesn't need to be defended.
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.
Mark Magoo it takes a big man to admit when he is wrong.
A very well thought out plan and engineered to perfection. Absolutely brilliant !!
Thank you very much!
One of the most well thought out and executed builds like this I have seen yet. Good job.
Love this video! my dad tried something like this when he was a kid to pull behind horses but his used sickle sections and a disk and a hit and miss engine to spin the cutting blades
If he would've been able to film this I bet his video would have gone viral today on YT! :D

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!
Yup, it is a good idea to cover the blades. Thanks for the kind words and watching the video! ;)
Мужик! Базара нет. Респект!
Awesome build. I like how the grass dissipates into the lawn without leaving clumps.
Pure Genes. My Dad use to say if you have leveraged you can make the world turn around.
Was your dad a Free Mason by chance?
Was your dad Archimedes? lol

Лайк по любэ!
This was very enjoyable to watch you assemble this, and show the end results. You are very mechanically inclined, and it shows. Thank you for sharing.
i wish there would be more young people out there like you with brain and will to work ..create great useful things out of materials from scrap yard . love this video ..specially with no wasted time on empty boring talking , time laps here and there ..just perfect . I'm old timer ..62 and i invent and build things all my life . is nice to know that there is continuity among next generations .
I just subscribe your channel .. THANK YOU !!
You’ve got mad skills!! NICE work
Great work! I just love people who tinker with things to make something out of nothing. Cheers mate.

Без лишних понтов, КЛАСС!
Extremely well done! Only thing I could think to recommend would be some small agricultural tires for better traction and some kind of deck lid to protect yourself from potential flying rocks/debris. I have to pay someone to mow my lawn as I'm always travelling, but could totally see myself using something like this when I retire.
WOW. you do great work. Thank you for sharing.
This project is a bit above my skill level for now. But I may revisit it in the future.
Cheers!
I run to... When I come to my garage...I realized that I dont have 10 000 euro of tools, mashins etc... Than I go to shop and bay for 100e electric one
Haha! What a piece of art man! So cool!
+j00k3 Cheers! It's a prototype and prototypes don't have to be presentable by standard terms. :D
@@DonnDIY have you made a seconded prototype or modified your cutter
Pretty cool little project. I love making stuff with my powerarc welder and the bigger and wilder the better.
Damn Donn, you are brilliant! I hope you have given a hug and thank you-before they leave this earth- to whoever made you so brilliant.
Крутая косилка из жигулевского моста! Автор молодчага!
Реакция правильная, примерно, так вдохновение в голову прошибет и пошло - поехало....! Автор, вы умница!
Una gran idea y un excelente trabajo. Gracias por compartirlo. Saludos desde Argentina
Pretty cool project, I’m happy it wasn’t a bust but a good success! I commend you for not cutting any corners and remaining patient. Building the jig and ensuring good alignment was in my opinion critical
That was nice. Good job.
Welding flash hurt my eyes...
You'll be hearing from my attorney.
Cool project.
One of the most impressive things I have seen someone build. I wish I had your vision.
Love it. It's the death mower!!!
brilliant, a real craftsman.

I'd say it cuts pretty dang good
Yep.
Other than needing some guards it's a beauty
Зачетна идея молодца.лайк заслужено.
Fantastic idea ...well executed...and very inspirational.
This video right here is why I LOVE youtube, ....Well done Sir !
Ha haa! Thanks. I love TH-cam too, so much to see, so little time. :D
Great Build, Love the Beginning of the video... So True - When you see something on TH-cam and know you have to build one right away...LOL Looking forward to anything else you come up with... I Just Subscribed !!!! Love this kind of stuff...
Fantastic craftsmanship! I love how you hand made the pulleys and everything! Very well done sor!
This is a great idea, great use of the rear axel, a welder an some junk can make anything
Awesome mower.
Cheers!
Clever smart man, thanks for sharing. Happy 2019
Сколько полезных вещей можно сделать из заднего моста Жигулей !
Very smart and quite a fabricator, just solved my problem of extra stuff around and the need for a field mower. Genius !!!
Cheers man!
Amazing work man!
Thanks!
I can agree, but where are safety covers? Hmm, Donn? ;)
Wouter d.B. You il
Wouter d.B. yep

Спасибо, подсказал идею.
Dang! That's the fastest turning screw drill I've ever seen. You'll go far Donn. You're the man!!!! Smart and gets it done.
Cheers!
You are using your gift to the extreme. People like you honor God infact.
Good work bro,Go ahead
You are genius! Respect my friend! )))
+Ильнур Калин I'm just copying others idea but thank you nevertheless, dude!
Great idea build. Works great for tall grass/weeds in open fields like I deal with
Formidable, extraordinaire ! Chapeau bas !...
"this is fucking heavy" laughed so hard at that
:D Let me entertain you!
Donn DIY
The slider that he fabbed while you were watching.....
Pretty damn cool. Loved your grunt and comment when you picked up the axle. LOL
I am very impressed, even more impressed how well it cuts the grass, You should be a Mechanical Engineer if not already one, Post more video,
Nice work with that wooden jig! Genius 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is really cool! Awesome job!
Thank you!
Junk that eventually doesn't become junk, 👍.
Nice! I love building functional things from scrap. Of course you have nicer tools but I'm working on that part.
I am glad you spent sometime showing it working. I hate when you watch them build it and don't show how it works at the end of yhe project.. good job.
super
Genius!
wow great job. I didnt expect that a such a wide cut could be done with a quad towing a mower.
Everything you build is outstanding you are so brilliant! Again your shop and property is so nice.
i really like how you took off to hurry and go copy the idea 😁
Pretty cool though, clever!
Sweet. God bless.
I'm impressed as hell.
Respect from USA
Love it! Wondering how it would work just mounting a bigger blade directly on the diff and having it facing down?🤔 Would not be as wide a cut and couldn’t get as close to fence lines and stuff as it would be inside the tires but would be a lot less moving parts.
The RPM would be way too slow.
SLRS not true, I have a 1948 Farmall cub with a belly mower and it has very low RPMs and it mows beautifully
Great video. Very innovative. Glad you didn't have some funky ass background music.
Very impressive work, looks it is so well made, it could pass it onto next few generations for sure! Mean time I have to keep patching up the poorly designed Croftman riding mower none stop!
*4 years later I still love THIS VIDEO.! Watched it half a descent times!*
Thanks man! I appreciate it. :D You know I do have other videos too. Just a thought. ;)
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!
I appreciate it! I have to agree on using rusted metal. Definitely makes the job a bit harder.
Add Spikes to the tires to get more grip for POWER and to Aerate!
Cool idea
Haha I was about to say the same thing.. do solid wheels with welded spikes for ballast and traction, Not to mention aeration
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
You would only aerate two little strips each pass though.
Very well done!
Great video and great fabrication
Thanks!
Bad to the bone dude, awesome job.
This is so ingenious! Your videos just don't disappoint.
Loads of excellent ideas in here. Thank you.
Thanks for watching. :D
В переди идущий мини трактор в две колеи колёсами пригладит траву которая останется не скошеной с зади идущей косилки. Через какое то время примятая трактором трава снова поднимется. Такую косилку было бы лучше устанавливать спереди идущего трактора. А так идея замечательная. Молодец.
I think I see potential kits coming from this idea right...!?!?🤗 nice job!
I see you changed to the front mount but I was wondering how the first one worked?
I need something like this at a remote cabin for cutting the grass, simple and reliable.
Why did you make the changes?
Идея оригинальная! У нас ещё так никто не делал, чтобы привод брали от колёс. Либо от вала отбора мощности, либо устанавливают двигатель.
Pretty nice. Might have some inspiration with the four junk push mowers laying around now.
I like it. But instead of all that weight over the tires which is cutting groves into the ground perhaps put spikes on the tires? This not only will give you the traction you need with less than half the weight you have, but also aerate the lawn.
Good idea. ;)
Donn DIY UY ,.
Curious how the pinion bearing has held up over time being starved for oil...just curious as it may be ok....I want to make one...if I've gotta put bearings in every few years who cares...if it's every year may not do it for me
just put some heavy grease in there. or some lucas oil thickner. thats what we did for our trailer that used a normal axle still.
Could also drill and add a grease fitting if it ever becomes an issue.
my great-great grandpa built these in the early 1900s for the farmers in my area I live in North Carolina. still have one that works but it's outdated I keep it as a relic and a memory of his creativity and hard work. 🤠
I love to see an inteligent person at work, very pleasant to my eyes. Thanks.
Much obliged!
Это гениально можно к лошади прицепить и бесплатно косить траву)))
после войны такие косилки у нас были на конной тяге и еденицы еще есть и сейчас имею в виду у руско язычных. лет 8 назад сам видел только принцип не от моста а проще. хотя может и не только у словян
От колеса по-моему привод!!!когда-то в колхозе такие работали!!!!
Awesome fabrication but with everything welded solid, how do you put a new belt on when it breaks?
Excellent job! I have to wonder how you keep it from scalping on uneven terrain. Maybe some rollers on the front and a floating hitch.

Супер газонокосилка,лайк за инженерную мысль.
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho ficou boa
Nice skills. Wonder how it would do mowing down an over grown pasture?
I think it would bog down, haven't tried it but I'm pretty sure though.
@@DonnDIY If you switched the pulleys and belt for gears and chains, I'm sure it would handle high grass just fine
