Dangerous as all get out but I LOVE IT! With great power comes great responsibility. I wish I had one of these a few years ago when I had a field up against my back yard - the only thing was a DR brush mower but that didn't seem to be the best option so I just mowed it with a normal gas mower a little at a time. Nice build!
I was thinking this thing was maybe going to go after some small saplings but instead it was just used on some weeds that could have been cut with the mower that it was started with. That was a lot of work to sucker me into watching and commenting.
I agree. Decidedly unimpressed. I have that B&S engine on a similar mower which I converted with 4 big wheels and none of the fancy equipment this guy has. It cuts that brush just the same, although the engine is under-powered for the job..
I rented the billy goat to clear my grandfathers land (20 years no maintenance) and man does that thing work .... now I've got to find something that can handle all the vines, they have clogged any and every th ing that touches out there
After watching it run, I would add a guard coming up from the deck in front of the engine, take the front wheels and reposition them inside the front supports to remove catching brush between them and the deck, other than that impressive.!
I copied your design but I used form ply for the deck and an old car tyre for the skirt. But I replaced the front wheels with skids and increased the distance between the rear wheels. It works great but I am going to find a bigger motor for it as it bogs down on some areas with larger saplings. Thanks for the upload and inspiration.
So while I'm looking for some bits to make a tree mulcher, bugger me, a fully equipped machine shop behind a bush. Then I went to my fave shop and bought one.
I can do this with nothing more than a basic welding machine, a drill and an angle grinder. I’ll take a lot longer and might not AS precise, but it can be done and the loss of precision in this application doesn’t much matter.
PLEASE DO! @franklingrebbo This thing is a great concept. You are the doctor, but mine will have an alignment guard similar to yours with the addition extended and curved "teeth", same as here but then downward just past the blade tips. That way, the grass and big weeds will enter just as before, but larger unwanted objects will HELP to prevent forward movement of the mower or entry of something you dont want. That is, just extend then curve the teeth downward a bit in front of the blade path. Well done here!
I’ve grew up and play with push mower and even had one beat up push mower only for the bushes but I had to have lots of fly wheel “keys” as back up whenever I hit rock or stumps it damaged the key. That’s reasons why the store sells bush whacker mowers have belts to turn blades so the it will slip as blade hit rocks or stumps to save the key in flywheel .
Beautiful work, and it shows off a shop most of us can’t afford. But cut out the front of the housing on the original mower and stick on taller wheels, and you have pretty much the same thing - with the same weaknesses. If you’re serious about real brush, lose the one-piece solid blade on the crankshaft and make a “bush hog” setup with a pair of hub mounted blades that can absorb impact and pivot back when necessary. We’ve mowed tall grass and light brush with a riding mower, keeping the deck at max height. But its blades are separated from the 22 hp engine by a long and none-too-tight belt.
I have a push mower I have had for over 5 years and use it to edge and get places my zeroturn can't fit... iv banged the blade off rocks, stumps, railroad rail that was partially buried. It will stop the engine dead in its tracks but back it up check the blade and it fires right up and keeps eating. Hitting a rock will not kill your engine...your blade maybe but not your engine.
@@robertlangley258 dead stop is dead stop regardless of what you hit. Especially if it has no give. The railroad rail bent the blade over. Replaced the blade it fired right up.
@@christophernewman8741 on the farm we have about 4 mowers out of ten with a bent crankshaft from the workers hitting stuff so i agree it takes more than you think to ruin a motor but it does happen fairly regularly if you are abusing it
My neighbor hit a big root first time with their brand new mower. The crank got bent and wouldn't turn. I chained it to my deck post on its side and unbent it with long piece of water pipe fit over the shaft. I think he still uses it.
I built something like that out of one of my mowers just cut the front of the deck close to the front wheels and folded the deck back to the deck shielded the motor and the blade cuts everything in its path we call it the monster works great I like your deal too good job god bless
The equipment you have is impressive, way more than ANY , EVEN OBSESSED handyman would have . Also the mower turned out nicely, looks like the uss enterprise. But nice job
If the grass could see, that beast would scare them into oblivion but I doubt it is any more effective than its donor unit. In fact those wide wheels would likely cause undesired matting.
The second you hit anything of any significant resistance the shaft will bend. Good for tall grass. There is also a swinging blade that would work great on this.
Wrong I have had 20 of these mowers that I have built. I did not have the left front wheel on mine installed and I was bending the blade every 10 to 15 minutes because I could not see the ruts in the ground from the farm equipment and I was putting a almost a 90° bend on the blade. I would stick it in the back of the pickup truck. And bend it back to straight and I would reinstall it. I must have done that like 10 different times and Mower was absolutely fine. I was only hitting dirt. I was not hitting something solid though.
Trying to get my mate to make one for me. I will go for an old 2 stroke engine, just because I love them, like my old Victa 18 special Toe Cutter (only have 2 videos on it so far) I wonder how the 3 wheel design feels in the ruff stuff? I love the big wheels you put on it! Think I would go for 4 wheels. Please make some more lawnmower builds. Subbed.
The whole point of a bush hog is that the blades are able to rotate on their mounting points so that you can hit big trees and stumps without the blades coming to a stop and damaging things. If you had done that one thing it would have been much more capable. And with your skills im sure you could easily make it happen.
In many videos, I can see the weld penetrate because the video is from the back side. There is a brief orange glow in the shape of a small dot, which I think may indicate a solid weld.
Your machine shop must be very kind at letting you build personal projects. I guess you do it on your own time and promise to replace any equipment you mess up. Most shops around here would have a hissy fit, unless it was a project for the boss. Nice build by the way. 🐀🐾
I would have putting the front wheels at the corners not center . That way it would do two things . The first thing it would do is stabilize the deck from going over ruff terrane . The 2nd is that they would be out of the way from the tall weeds . What I would do is to make the blade to swivel . This would take three new blades and some more steel to make it work right . This is to shorten two blades buy cutting off the cutting ends . Then taking the steel cutting it to the width of the cut blades and cutting down to about 3 inches shorter than the blades . This steel is a strip is 1/16 thicker than the blades . This strip of steel is sandwiched between the tow blades and welded . The 3rd blade is used for the cutting blade and the ends are cut at least 4 inch back from the cutting edge and then rounded . Holes need to be cut with the plasma cutter for the swivel grade 8 shoulder bolts . The other thing I would make is an extra support for the PTO end of the crank shaft . This way if you hit something hard ti would not bend the crankshaft . I have a old Bobcat push mower that has this support .
I had a simular idea but it would be a large table saw blade so it can take down 3" dia trees and drop down or up. You can't set the height on the but you can use a mower blade, string trimmer or chain saw disk or table saw blade This also doesn't have a discharge.
Start with an older Toro GTS (THIS STANDS FOR GURANTEED TO START ) 3 speed mower. Leave the right front wheel but expose 2 inches of the deck all the way around to 10 o'clock. Reinstall the left front wheel at 9 o'clock. / I have made 20 or more of these in the last 10 years. And I nickname this the death machine. / I have had to install some mesh from a screen door On the top of the mower to keep the debris from getting down inside the top of the mower. on one of my trips driving home. The top of my mower looks like an Indian smoke signal. / But before installing the screen on top of the mower, I accidentally melted one of my coil wires.
Can’t help but think you built the rolls Royce of decks then put weak components from one of the worst mowers victa build on it… I know, $20.. they didn’t even put a cross brace on those handlebars. Definitely need swing backs and a bigger donk otherwise the original mower with the flap open would’ve done the same job. Love the idea and the effort though!
Roof made some brush mowers back in the day that where similar to this . we used to rent them at a place i worked at . but it seems to me like the government safety folks (Osha) put a ban on these style machines because of the cutting blade being exposed in the front like this one is . hope it works for you .
Sorry for bad english but your air filter id mounted backwards - this "triangle" part should be to the rear od the engine. Great job. Greetings from Poland!
Check out welding for beginners courses at your local TAFE, I did it quite a few years ago and it was very helpful, having the correct settings and technique on a mig can mean the difference between grinding for 2 minutes or 20 minutes.
Only think I can think of that would’ve made this a lot better is if you would’ve salvaged a front wheel front a zero turn to put on the back so you could turn it easier.
Can you make one with counter-spinning blades? How would it work if there was intentional looseness in the system (the blades can move faster or slower, transferring energy to each other depending on how they meet resistance)?
Not knocking it . But maybe it is affective on small stuff. but you hit something alittle on the big side you will shear the flywheel key or bend the crank shaft . Good Idea . things i would changes 1 let engine turn a belt to spin the blade instead of one to one 2 add a full motion wheel in the back for better steering 3 thicker blade might haft to do some pulley changing to get the best rpm for blade But like a i said im not knocking it it a great idea the can be approved on . most brush cutter mower's cost alot of money up in the 6k range for a really good one

Yeah, my E mower and trimmer both have plenty of power, I'll never go back to a gasser. Been thinking of homebrewing a brush hog but if I do, it will be e powered.
@@portnuefflyer sounds cool. a heavy shaft, bearings and blade may take a bit more to spool up, but would carry the kinetic energy to go thru thicker saplings, etc.

Yes, I would like to see some kind of kill switch. If you step in a hole, this thing could mangle you good.
i concur
With great power comes great responsatrilitrance
I thought I was gonna see some saplings cut down. Why not just cut the front out of a regular mower if you're cutting weeds? Otherwise, good job.
Because then the 20k he spent on fancy tools would seem like a waste
I was thinking the exact same thing
Cutting with a CNC plasma then using an angle grinder for straight pieces
run out of money after the CNC
ya it would make more sense
I was thinking this thing was maybe going to go after some small saplings but instead it was just used on some weeds that could have been cut with the mower that it was started with. That was a lot of work to sucker me into watching and commenting.
I agree. Decidedly unimpressed. I have that B&S engine on a similar mower which I converted with 4 big wheels and none of the fancy equipment this guy has. It cuts that brush just the same, although the engine is under-powered for the job..
I've got a Billy Goat brush mower, it is great but I like what you've done. You do need a belt to separate the blade from the driveshaft.
I agree about belt. Less chance of engine damage.
I rented the billy goat to clear my grandfathers land (20 years no maintenance) and man does that thing work .... now I've got to find something that can handle all the vines, they have clogged any and every th ing that touches out there
This brush hog is a MONSTER; Need to see more action!
I have a battery operated hedge trimmer on a pole. Works great in my Pa woods.

Oh yes that’s definitely a diy project because everyone has a machine shop in the back yard

Nice job. I collect vintage lawnmowers thank you for sharing.

That thing is gnarly. I'd like to see it chop some heavier stuff.
ahh the ole ankle chopper 3000... I love it!
If the grass could see, that beast would scare them into oblivion but I doubt it is any more effective than its donor unit. In fact those wide wheels would likely cause undesired matting.
Put thinner front wheels with a bigger circumference and it will be kickass
If you go through all the trouble why not get a larger blade and make the deck another 12 inches or more larger?
The second you hit anything of any significant resistance the shaft will bend. Good for tall grass. There is also a swinging blade that would work great on this.
I just use my mower on the highest setting for that stuff. A mower is also the best mulcher ever.
Or the flywheel key will dent or shear throwing the timing off so it won't start till you fix it.
OH NO!

Never saw a residential mower like your donor with the 4 small blades.

Did you make that welding table?
if do hiw about some info on that, if you have not already thanks

things i would changes
1 let engine turn a belt to spin the blade instead of one to one
2 add a full motion wheel in the back for better steering
3 thicker blade might haft to do some pulley changing to get the best rpm for blade
But like a i said im not knocking it it a great idea the can be approved on .
