Front-End Mower Chops Down Bushes
David Heisley, Creswell, Ore., needed a way to cut down an overgrown blackberry hedge that had reached over 10 ft. tall. He came up with the idea of attaching his old DR brush mower to the front-end loader of his Deere 770 and lifting it up to cut.
    Heisley mounted a wood platform in the bucket, supported by metal braces that attach to the top of the bucket.
    "With a little practice, I had very high berry plants down to three to four inches off the ground," he says. "It makes mincemeat out of them."
