Tag-A-Long Mower Uses Deck Off A Deere Riding Mower
I call this my tag-a-long mower - it's a 38-in. deck off a 110 Deere riding mower. It's powered by its own 11 hp. Briggs & Stratton engine. I built a frame around the deck out of heavy angle iron, mounting the mower on the back over the rear wheels. The motor belt-drives the deck.
There are caster wheels on front and also on the hitch which extends out from the left side of the tractor. The caster wheels are 8 in. high hard rubber. The rear wheels on the mower are 10-in. wheels from the front of an old riding mower.
I pull the tag-a-long mower behind my Deere 160, which also cuts a 38-in. swath. I now mow 78 in. wide at a time. It takes only about 45 min. to mow an acre of lawn.
