Three Old Riding Mowers Hooked Together
 ✖  |
Instead of buying a big, high-priced new mower, I use three older riding mowers hooked together to cut a wide swath and reduce mowing time to a minimum. I made a hitch out of scrap materials. A pull bar runs across the back of the front tractor. I attached tongues to the front of each rear mower which pinto either end of the pull bar. Keeps the mowers apart yet allows them to turn freely to follow the front mower. The only part I bought was a U-clamp for 75 cents. It takes me about 10 min. to hook everything up and get it going but at age 79 I figure I can afford that much time. (Robert D. Gethmann, 1963 E. Ave., Gladbrook, Iowa 50635)
