/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Apparently I don't have pics of it, but the main mower at the house is a 60" Exmark LazerZ with a 25ish hp horizontal shaft Kohler.

Farm mower is a Dixon commercial 60" front deck with a 22.5 or 23.5 Kohler horizontal shaft engine.

Also have a like new Cub Cadet 54" or 60" (can't remember off the top of my head) that my old man bought and we really haven't used much.

An older 42" Cub cadet rzt that was the main mower at the house until the 17hp Kohler vertical shaft engine chucked a rod and it got upgraded to a 22hp Predator. I really need to sell this one as it no longer gets used now that we have the Exmark.

And I also have a Grasshopper 721D front deck with the 3 cylinder diesel. It's in a state of disrepair right now because I bought it that way and haven't had time to fuck with it. The engine does fire up and run though.

My next "mower" project is going to be a Versatile 276 bi-directional tractor with a 15' 3 point brush hog mounted to the front of it. Going to unshroud the front, put a push bar on it and mow brushy trees on the river bottom.

>Dont these big machines brake the blade if the user's weight comes out of the saddle, long before you'd have time to somersault and roll under it?? A push mower doesn't have that much clearance, or a seatbelt.

Most riding mowers do have a seat safety switch. The one I pictured does not. I also unshrouded the front of the deck to allow weeds into the blades without them folding over like a typical mower deck would. It's a real kitten/puppy/small child/nun killer.
