Pint-Sized "Kuhn" Lawn Mower
"I work for a neighboring farmer who owns a big blue Ford New Holland 4-WD tractor, as well as an orange Kuhn FC 4000R disc mower. I enjoy operating both machines so I built my own pull-type, 36-in. lawn mower to look like a big Kuhn mower and painted it orange. I pull it off to the side behind a New Holland riding mower that's equipped with a 48-in. deck. It lets me cut 7 ft. at a time," says Chris Ross, Pawlet, Vt.
The "Kohn" mower, as he calls it, rides on a pair of 8-in. wheels off an old garden tractor. He used sheet metal to make the body of the machine. A big hitch, made from 4-in. rectangular tubing, extends from the housing up to the tractor's drawbar. A white canvas skirt mounts around the bottom of the deck to keep grass from flying out. The front part of the deck is supported by a gauge wheel, which came with the ATV mower.
