lawnmower blades aren't hardened, they would shatter if you hit a stone and maybe injure you, just the edge needs a treatment (like a Japanese katana blade) and also a slight thicker steel blade to have some more mass/force. also like they said, video made in 2019, next week they probably try to drive a car bottle caps instead of tyres.
Actually this could be a good idea, practically you could get a diff and set it up on a trailer that you could tow with a vehicle that would be a good budget solution
I have actually seen that exact thing done. Tires were half filled with water to help with traction as well as a couple of drums filled with water added on top to help keep the wheels in ground contact. It only used 1 diff though. I really like the idea of a second diff like these guys did. I happen to have a solid diff that I am saving for this exact reason too.
I know at least 1 farmer who has done it, had like a 5:1 ratio or something like that. Tows it behind the tractor on a trailer, and uses it for clearing brush.
@GGALLIN1776 that's how they work. at speed they stick straight out and cut. if they encounter resistance they bend back and slip past allowing for the next blade to take a wack at it. if they are ridged then if they hit resistance they can bend
Yep. Mowers have a bit more going on than most realize. The shape of the deck and angles on blades are all about creating the up draft that helps cut grass rather than just laying it over.
@@miketee2444 Interesting! I'm trying to find some information on the engineering/design of this. (Pictures, text, whatever) Really interested in learning more, but not having much luck! :/
You can really see the excitement of Vlad on this video. 😄 It was a joy to see Vlad so excited about the experiement.😄 Next thing would be to make those blades out of thicker harder material and connect the rear drive shaft back to the welded differential so you would get the 4 wheel drive back AND still have the cutting blade under. 😄 That would be 110% success for sure!
I wonder how well it would work if you flipped the axle to use the yoke behind the vehicle as a pto to drive an already made mowing implement that would be as wide as the vehicle.
So the coupling on the front of the diff could facilitate Another drive shaft and another diff couldn't it? Sure might add more stress on the original diff because now it will drive 2x lawn mower assemblys but then you'd have a fantastic cut. Might need a longer 4x4 car though to fit the second blades etc. Then it would be worth while towing a rake to gather the hay. Thanks for the vid from Australia!
Long term project: UAZ sleeper tractor. Deploy a till and planting machine. Need help planting crops? Drive over and there ya go. Show the results at the end of the growing season
That's all cool stuff &.Definatly a worthwhile "redneck type" project. I will recommend you add a scattershield/ decking, , especially if you go for some higher rpms and sharp blades.
Your channel is my favorite on TH-cam. Your videos alone are worth my monthly subscription. You guys do all the cool things I wouldn't have normally thought about and make them a reality. Thank you and your team from Aaron in Washington state USA. I also give thanks to BMI Russian for the translation.
It worked far better than you might expect. It needs some better tyres on the front wheels and a tempered steel mower blade. But it is perfectly adequate to keep an area of land from becoming a jungle. Everything starts to grow like crazy this time of year.
Your lawn mower truck is about the best lawnmower coming out now nobody's ever attempt to order truck y'all did was small cars but nobody's ever attempt to do it with his truck I got to give you credit man you're awesome I love it keep it up man I enjoy watching your videos you and your team are like the best over there
we know this is 2 years old so future build idea... If a single blade doesn't quite cut the mustard in tall grass, then we need more blades. I say put another diff on the back of the transmission and use a two-blade system. The first takes down the tall grass and the second gives the buzz cut for a finished look.
How about a tow behind version that uses a differential driven by the tires when it’s pulled hooked up to a shaft that powers 2 or 3 blades so you can get a wider cutting width?
On every video I'm thinking if they just gave it another hour to make the most needed modifications after the first test, it could turn out much better! The blades in this case should've been thicker and sharpened better.
there is a bit more than just cutting - lawnmowers have blades that are a bit propelled. like airplane blades - they "suck" weed upwards so you get as 90 degree cut as possible instead of whacking the weed down.
cool concept! a short drive shaft would put hub more centered front+rear, would allow some longer blades increasing tip speed for better+wider cutting. angled a little taller front (8") and lower rear (5"), it could mow flat fields fast.
what I thought kinda scary, the whole mower blade rocking around with that rear axle! the short drive shaft to center mount to vehicle floor itself, more stable.
im very curious if the lovely folks in this comment section can help me out, im looking at buying a UAZ 452 (bukhanka) this summer, and i was wondering if i wanted the best engine that i could get for it, what type of engine should i get (id love to have a 1:1 swap where i dont have to swap too many parts out?
@@geemcspankinson yep, pretty much, looking to buy a standard 4x4 but maybe fit a better engine than the 2.4 petrol. possibly a diesel? and yeah 1:1 is ambitious, i dont mind a bit of fabricating
@@Communistdogg That's gonna be very cool to drive around in, unfortunately I can't help much expect maybe try looking around the net in russian. Good luck with your search man.
Podría hacerse en un eje aparte que pueda elevarse hidráulicamente (igual que con un tractor), para que solo funcione cuando apoyan las ruedas sobre el suelo. Y no hay que modificar un vehículo sirve para cualquier vehículo que tengas. Y los elementos se pueden conseguir en un desguase. 👌👍👍👍👍👍
Reminds me of the dude who put a spinning blade on a robot vacuum, with a motion sensor, it did not end well for him, although it did end very quickly for him.
Great stuff! This got me wondering how well it might work to sharpen the leading edge of the propellers on a helicopter and fly it up-side-down, hovering close to the ground. Depending upon the model of helicopter used, this may provide a slightly wider mowing path, reducing the time spent in mowing. This may require advanced piloting skills, but maybe not - maybe it would be easy! Less time spent mowing = more time spent burping, scratching and beer-drinking.
You could’ve gotten a skinny driveshaft and joints to attach the blade to. Then, to rotate it, weld a gear to the end of it and cut in the the cars driveshaft and weld a gear there and weld it all back together and then support both driveshaft gears together. Boom
It would've worked better if you angled the blades so it sucked the grass upwards during the cutting. That's how actually mower blades are shaped. Otherwise the wind from the blade actually pushes the grass away from the blade causing a worse cut.
I was going to say, if you got into some real big weeds, that little rig just wouldn't have the hp needed, even the UAZ has it's limits, lol, thanks for sharing guys.
@@robertheinkel6225 Yep. And this rear-end is only propelled by the rear wheels. So the faster you would have to go. Unless you had a bigger diff of course
Finally a mower that actually works better the faster you go.
would be nice to see an updated version of this with twin blades or harden steel.

Or try a single blade
This worked so much better than I expected it would, nice job. :D
Definitely a 107% on this vid
Stronger / thicker metal with a sharper edge on the blades and it'll be Moor then 107% 👌👌 keep up the good work lads 😎

Yeah look up DonDIY lawn mower. It was exactly that. Great vid and build.

I'm from the UK and have absolutely no idea about cars, yet I find your videos so compelling. Keep 'em coming in!
Oh well now we need properly hardened and tempered steel blades!
Also bigger cutting diameter of course, nothing more embarrassing than a small diameter 😉
@@SoggyCoffeeAddict Good idea! Extend the diff so the blade can be mounted in the center between the axels.
Kick up the back edge to create lift, make hardened blades, and tune the wheel speed so you maintain 20,000 SFPM; thing will annihilate anything
Yess, and also I was thinking they should have mounted thicker blades and use only one big, strong bolt per blade, like a bush-hog blade is set up! 😁
@GGALLIN1776 that's how they work. at speed they stick straight out and cut. if they encounter resistance they bend back and slip past allowing for the next blade to take a wack at it. if they are ridged then if they hit resistance they can bend
I always find the underside of an UAZ so satisfying. They are incredibly well built machines.
that's what SHE SAID,,,,,,,,,
>UAZ
>well built
pick one
as long as they are not invading other countries
Well built≠simple
Nothing from cccp is built well
That's one hell of a lawn mower
Angle them so that the cutting edge is downwards to create an updraft to cut smoother and at higher speeds, keep the grass from being pushed aside
Yep. Mowers have a bit more going on than most realize. The shape of the deck and angles on blades are all about creating the up draft that helps cut grass rather than just laying it over.
@@miketee2444 Exactly, it's the updraft that cuts.

that's an interesting idea too, mine is more G-54-ish?
a nice update would be to attach a rake behind of UAZ to collect the grass you cut.

Nothing more satisfying than widening a grass-grown narrow countryside road
I was very suspicious about this working, but it turned out amazing. This should be retested with actual mower blades.
Simple yet elegant solution to making a truck into a lawn mower. The brilliance that comes outta all you guys is astounding.
Long term project: UAZ sleeper tractor. Deploy a till and planting machine. Need help planting crops? Drive over and there ya go. Show the results at the end of the growing season
That would do a great tool as a rabbit 🐰 shredder
Now you can make crop circles!
These ideas are wacked and I LOVE THEM
They’ve accidentally created something useful! 🤣
This thing with some actual purpose built blades, sharpened and balanced would be a force to be reckoned with!
That box is honestly great value even if you don't get the expensive item
That's all cool stuff &.Definatly a worthwhile "redneck type" project. I will recommend you add a scattershield/ decking, , especially if you go for some higher rpms and sharp blades.
A ramp on the ends to make an upward pull like a lawnmower blade. That would help clean up the cut and not miss as many plants.

I was waiting for it to blow up. But held up very well!
When the drone camera zoomed out, I was sure there was going to be a giant gentleman's sausage drawn in the field.

The green countryside in Russia reminds me of the huge pastures that don't have corn in it in Northern Indiana!
Should have put it on a honda
The reason it wasn’t cutting all of it comes down to speed and how fast the blades are spinning.
Try drawing a crop circle or the Garage 54 logo in the field, just for the hell of it! Wonder what the farmer will say!!
Came for the video, stayed for the bangin' soundtrack.
Oh man, this would make such a winner in Scrapheap Challenge!!!
the uaz of death...i love it!
Please replace torque converter in automatic gearbox with clutch from the manual.

it being a locked diff... they could just attach propshaft again to make four wheel drive
Propshaft lenght too long
mount it to the roof as a propeller and try to lift up :D
i mean it's impractical because weight crushing the grass you drive over but.... funny :D
Next time... replace the blades with lengths of chainsaw chains...
I would say replace them with running chain saws but the fuel might not make it to the right place with the forces lol.
Thanks guys loved it
now that is a lawnmower just needs aircon and automatic gathering of the clippings and it's a seller for sure
Needs the blades angled to suck the grass up, nice to see all the English speaking people still watching :)
Dam i would like to have that truck !
Thats no junk lada
I made some home made blades from 5mm steel plate for my Uncle's ride-on mower.
It was cheap and quite easy.
It was 4 blades on each hub.
Worked great, and I'm sure it would be much better if it was built to last. GREAT JOB
Wow a ladamower! Now you just need to add a grass box.
cool concept! a short drive shaft would put hub more centered front+rear,
would allow some longer blades increasing tip speed for better+wider cutting.
angled a little taller front (8") and lower rear (5"), it could mow flat fields fast.

I love the visuals, shots of a beautiful, pristine meadow, then you guys roll in with a big ugly uaz to tear it all up 😂
it worked perfectly... great video
Now make a pickup unit for it and a hopper to collect the grass
Now put a lawnmower engine in a Lada and see how well it drives (once you're able to make videos again...Stay safe out there!)
Congratulations, you invented a ground driven mower conditioner.
Crazy how well it worked, lot of power drift trike didn't want anybody to forget that should be the next project 😁
With that lawnmower, you can make some design in the field that an alien made
lol this was actually pretty satisfying to watch the road get trimmed
Bloody awesome!!
A sickle bar mower on the front with about a foot of overlap on both sides would be epic! 😀
Not me wanting to see a whole Feild done with this lol
Bro this music is sick what is it????
2:40
They really need to start putting this music in the description.
So that is where the crop circles are coming from
Add bolt. On domes o pistons fo more compression.

@@robertheinkel6225 Yep. And this rear-end is only propelled by the rear wheels. So the faster you would have to go. Unless you had a bigger diff of course
I was really hoping for an art attack at the end
put smaller tire on the back to increase blade speed and grind them sharp. most bushogs cutters have one long blade sharp at each end 👍👍
Put the prop shaft back in so you have 4 wheel drive
