Home-Built Side Mount Mower
I read your stories about side-mount mowers in the last issue and thought I’d show you one I rigged up a few years ago. Using automotive tie rods and 3/4-in. pipe, I mounted a 46-in. deck with a 12-hp. motor to the side and front of my 48-in. cut 520-H Wheel Horse riding mower. The tie rods connect to an angle iron frame fitted with 4 caster wheels. I added an extra fuel tank so the side mower would run as long as the tractor before refueling.
I can mow around trees like a zero-turn mower with this setup. It’s just great. (Robert Walker, Mocksville, N.C.)
