Man I am glad someone else thinks the way I do. I thought amount mounting the deck in front of my mower for several years but just could not figure out how to do it. Congrats on doing that. I cut the front of the deck off a 21 rear wheel drive Honda walk behind mower to build my brush cutting and it works like a champ.

[@saltysavage3756]

I have a neighbor who doesn't think a mud mower can clear-cut brush. Thanks to Chud, there's this video to prove him wrong. That's a real trail blazer! Awesome build!

i had to do this a couple of days ago, except my version was "me tying a chain to a push mower and pulling it with my john deer" honestly worked better than i was expecting. also i think this is what most people imagine when you "i have a mud mower"

[@chud327]

[@trueblueclassicrock]

Just an idea. Cut back the front of the deck slightly to expose the cutting blades, and weld some fork like rods to guide the brush to the deck. Maybe change the angle up a couple of degrees so the blade are the first to hit the grass, bush, or corn. Otherwise love your ingenuity!

[@chud327]

Sounds like great suggestions, we will see what happens and thanks for watching!!

[@brandonbrandon749]

I was going to say the same thing cut more of deck to expose more blade that way I’ll be cutting instead of pushing it before it’s cut

[@drive42]

I converted a junked out 112 John Deere with a 36" single blade deck to a front mount. I cut out the front of the deck so about 1.5" of the blade was contacting tall weeds before they hit the deck. I bent up some 3/8" rod and made a deflector that would help the tall weeds fall to the right as the blade cut them off. It worked pretty well cutting 8' pigweeds and kochia. The deck was 4" off the ground, and it worked good for reaching under cedar trees in a windbreak. The secret was to allow room for the weeds to fall off to the right so they wouldn't be needlessly recut.

[@chud327]

sounds like great tips and thanks for watching.

[@redneckbryon]

Good Idea You could even go larger in the future if you wanted to. Something you could do as a pull behind finishing mower. If you have an old, Cub Cadet Mower Deck, you mount a secondary engine to it and you can pull it behind your primary machine.

[@CumminsDriver]

Looks like it works great, better than i expected honestly. I have plans of doing the same thing but on my ATV powered with a 3-5hp engine mounted on the old riding mower deck and hopefully with adjustable deck height. I wont be mowing anything too heavy, I just have a small property across a creek that my zero turn wont currently cross. I could use my tractor and bush hog but its a lot of trouble to haul it over vs the fourwheeler so i think a front mount deck on the ATV would make it easy.

[@chud327]

Might be just what you need. I next want to make a pull behind that cuts lower. Thanks for watching!!

So today used my mud mower to move a 4 wheeler with a locked up tire and I was pulling it and I got in some mud and I got stuck but my dad got is riding lawn mower and helped push on the back of the 4 wheeler and I got out and he got in where I got stuck because he has a mowing deck on it and I had to push his out of the mud with my mud mower that I got stuck with and love the vids keep up the good work 👍

That's one way to make it even scetchier! :P Edit: Lol you already tried it on trees and it worked amazingly well, I didnt watch the whole video before commenting lol

I think you need to make an engagement bracket using the old deck engagement lever with a cable, and some pulley guards so you don't shred the belt with sticks and briars. It does look great on the front of that mower, it fits really good on the big brush guard, it looks like a true garden tractor now! cant wait for the river ride video soon too.

Hello From Mark In Kentucky. Regarding the mower blades. I have in the past taken oversized lawnmower blades and chucked them into my 14 inch Milwaukee Chopsaw cutting the appropriate amount from off each side of the blade. This was done on an old Yazoo Big Wheel mower in which the blades are obsolete and getting very rare to find. Most of the blades that I was able to find were the 26 inch blades instead of the 24 inch blades like my Yazoo uses. The chopsaw as a rule makes a good square cut which works for many mower blades but unfortunately not all of them. The blades that I cut did not require too much effort to put them in good balance. I would not recommend anyone who is not familiar with mowing equipment and or blade sharpening to try what I described as my disclaimer. Maybe I will create a front mounted deck for either my 107 Cub Cadet or my 110 John Deere when I get it re-wired. Thanks for the great idea.

It was fun watch the grass fly out and thanks for watching!!

[@garychandler4296]

Two thoughts: eventually, a branch is gonna fall into that unguarded drive and could do damage. A small pipe slit and welded onto the front lip would keep it from bending or dragging on vertical stalks. Oh, and why not copy the real bush hogs and make the blades hinge in the middle. Less impact stresses on the shafts and you could tackle larger material! I'm not sure, but flywheel weights at the shafts may give it more momentum and maybe make it smoother? (Thinking harmonic balancers from car motors or dumbell weights)

[@chud327]

Great tips and thank you for watching!!

[@deanaf]

It didn't really work the way I thought it would. I don't know if you have changed it? Reinforce the deck and cut the front back more so about 6 inches of blade is exposed. The corn won't stand a chance.
