Homemade Front Mount ATV Mower In Action

[@candeservices1]

I would low crawl thru 10 meters of barbed wire and broken glass just to have 1 friend like you! Thank you for taking the time to learn English.

[@DonnDIY]

Hahaa! That's really harsh. You can get friends easier. Just tell them the beer is on you and voilà, an army of friends will flood your house. :D Thanks for watching!

[@candeservices]

People that come over when you give them FREE BEER are not friends! Friends are people that come over when you don't have beer. But I get your point. Have a nice day!

[@lloydprunier4415]

Very inventive and I can see from the area and terrain why you would want this. Also it is absolutely great that you can use materials that you have to build things. I have never built anything this elaborate from scratch, but have always used things most people throw away for many projects.

[@DonnDIY]

Scrap is the best source for material - once you cut something wrong you don't have to beat yourself to death for messing it up. :D

[@paulduchesne9021]

Sold lots of the ATV pull behind mowers with the Honda engines. First time I have seen someone mount it to the front of an ATV. Good job.

[@zlojadmin]

This is very very very cool, my friend! Very. Very. Very. Very cool!

[@DonnDIY]

Hahaa! Cheers!

[@ChaosGarage]

That thing is neat and it looks like it works well. Enjoyed the build!

[@shannonblane]

Very cool. You have a very mechanical mind.

[@123sheepdip]

Amazing and what a great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@vocopro100]

That's awesome great job.

[@apjack2553]

Lawn mower ground leveling at its finest!

[@ustinman8446]

OUTSTANDING ! Job well done.

[@DonnDIY]

Much obliged friend!

[@elrayox8932]

Always enjoy your videos!!

[@DonnDIY]

Thanks man!

[@boastyy]

Awesome job mate, very talented. Wish I had your skills!

[@DonnDIY]

Thanks man! No skill needed, just an angle grinder. ;)

[@boastyy]

Ha , You are too modest, I can make a hell of a mess with an angle grinder lol.

[@MrMikey1224]

You are one talented young man, awesome job...

[@DonnDIY]

Cheers!

[@fynbo1007]

So cool and I love the way you done it

[@DonnDIY]

Thanks!

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

I missed this video last week;) Really nice how it came out and it seems to work awesome!

[@DonnDIY]

Thanks man! Now with the bigger flywheel/pulley on the engine I can mow even faster. ;)

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

That's nice!

[@zigo4796]

Now you have to build something to collect all the gras :) by the way good job

[@DonnDIY]

Mr W Thanks dude!

[@OKSZAelectric]

Wow nice job. Regaeds from Poland 😉

[@2233golf2]

This is the man you need to have as a neighbour......I'd rather give him my money than any other cheating garage.....great craftsmanship.....

[@tristanschreifels6002]

can you show us how to attach it to the 4 wheeler

[@mikeohandley6765]

Need to add a vacuum and grass catcher to that mower!

[@mimiporsche]

Bravo bella invenzione! !

[@transplant5449]

you should make your own lawn roller to tow behind when you are mowing, it will help flatting your lawn after a few times lowing, i did and it works great my lawn it super smooth

[@DonnDIY]

I've been thinking about it before. Thanks for the good advice and thanks for watching!

[@miroslavgrnjak6729]

Bravo, nice job, i like it

[@DonnDIY]

Thank you. I like it too, it makes my life much easier now. ;)

[@MrSzero13]

WOW DONN..... THIS IS A MARVEL MAN !!! THIS IS amazing and the craftsmanship[ is on point buddy, SO awesome GREAT PROJECT...

[@DonnDIY]

Thanks a bunch dude! ;)

[@MrSzero13]

i cant wait to see what else ya have in store buddy !!!!

[@Atvsrawsome]

That would be awesome...my only problem would be that the trails I use to get to the fields I need mowed ate super rough and hilly

[@abefrohman1759]

Great job.

[@alexoconnor2000]

Would you ever think of making the dr fence line trimmer it would be a cool build

[@Isalys555]

Amazing work !

[@markfryer9880]

Well done, that will save your neck from getting knots in it. Next to make it radio control and finally turn it into a robot mower freeing you up to make more useful things.

[@DonnDIY]

Yup, I will have to educate myself on electronics first. Otherwise this thing is gonna run over me. :D

[@BigPard1974]

Would love to see you make a pull behind flail mower or brush hog. Something for heavy cutting.

[@Futurebeefcake]

Big Pard he would need a bigger motor obviously lol

[@902cruze]

take part of a snow blower and use the part that the snow gets blown out of as a way to but the grass into some sort of trailer

[@MyDom55]

Excellent

[@ramonluftgekuhltdx631]

Nice work

[@GuntersGarage]

Pretty dang cool!!

[@DonnDIY]

Cheers!

[@tracymcdougal6381]

Incredible inenginnering

[@rolfnilsen6385]

Grass pickup trailer next :-)

[@DonnDIY]

Yeah! I would then have to get rid of the grass somehow. :D

[@qmpel]

You'll need to make a "Homade rabbit build" project :P

[@AFHProjects]

No smoking belts anymore (y)

[@DonnDIY]

Yup. It's pretty good as it is right now. Just have to up the speed a little more and I can call it a day. ;)

[@SK-tr9ii]

Great job, but where's the beer can holder?

[@DonnDIY]

Hahaa! If I build it, it will come.

[@fynbo1007]

Look forward to seeing it painted, now you just need a machine to collect the grass, you can pull the wagon behind to keep the grass

[@DonnDIY]

I think I'm not gonna collect the grass just for the collecting itself. If I find a usage for the grass then maybe yes. :D

[@fynbo1007]

Thank you for your answer. Donn DIY what about a challenge to make a small round bale presses for hay, to pull behind your atv

[@MacGyver-1]

Nice, if you add rear baffles it will produce a cleaner cut

[@DonnDIY]

I have thought of that. Have to do that for the next season. Thanks!

[@silentdeath9237]

If you would have driven the axle from the motor the blades depending on gear ratio could have been spinning a lot faster and work much better

[@BobSmith-cs9nq]

Great job, how many hours do you have in it?

[@DonnDIY]

I'm not sure. I haven't counted. :D

[@Patriottoo2]

How long did it take to build the mower? It was difficult for me to watch this video, 'cause the wheel frame wasn't painted. :-)

[@smilingskull7827]

How does the lube stay in the transfer case? Amazing work!

[@DonnDIY]

I changed the breather location on it.

[@pebble1232]

great job pal, what country are you in?

[@DonnDIY]

Thanks! Estonia.

[@andyvanorden115]

That's awesome! What was your cost against what you might for one brand new?

[@DonnDIY]

I don't know the cost of the mowers that are on sale, I have the labor and material in it and I bought new wheels for it which cost ~170 euros. And if you think about it, my mower is also brand new. :D

[@adkchip1]

You tell him! Reduce,reuse,recycle. Build something and have fun!

[@user-neo71665]

First I think it's great and works really good. I just wonder why you chose to hook it to the front and not make it a tow behind?

[@DonnDIY]

I attached it to the front so I don't ride over the grass before mowing.

[@OTAlucard]

I used a pull behind mower on a honda ATC 200s I Could mow more Mow faster On about a quarter of the fuel of a big zero turn And the parts were cheaper I Used it for 3 years and sold it for more money than I Had in it And kept the ATV

[@DonnDIY]

I would kill to have an ATC 200. Beware! :D

[@trolletludenben]

kena masin! Nice build. Is there any special reason why you used a horizontal shaft motor? would it not have been a simpler build if you used a vertical shaft motor?

[@DonnDIY]

Thanks! Yup. The reason for using a horizontal shaft engine is that I had it. And basically built the mower around it. New engine prices start around 400-500 EUR and it's too much for this project. If I could find a 16 hp riding mowers engine from somewhere I would consider converting the mower to it.

[@freesaxon6835]

nice job

[@kirknelson156]

what you need now is a tow behind vacuum :)

[@jpw1490]

What sort of four wheeler /quad bike is that

[@DonnDIY]

2002 Honda TRX500FA Foreman Rubicon. Hydrostatic drive. Quite a workhorse.

[@jpw1490]

Love Hondas I have a Honda 2012 500fm and a 1995 fw

[@qmpel]

Lovely job :) Please consider to paint all with strong red ;)

[@DonnDIY]

Once I finish the mods I will paint it all red. :D Then it'll be faster too.

[@qmpel]

Clearly :)

[@TheSTEPAN76]

[@Whatsthegeek]

Is it reliable ?

[@DonnDIY]

Absolutely. ;)

[@tuomokosunen9773]

You are great

[@TheFenix717]

Hi Bro!!! 1) you must make a container to collect grass, like a lawnmower. 2) why do you cut grass so much ??)))

[@AlienX511]

Only problem it takes twice the fuel than regular lawnmower

[@bikeroftheeverywheres864]

now you just need a baler 😂.

[@DonnDIY]

That's an idea for a project. :D

[@bikeroftheeverywheres864]

Donn DIY 👍

[@engovali1719]

eestlane ?

[@DonnDIY]

Ikka. 😉

[@engovali1719]

Donn DIY vapsjee

[@diovagnos]

Rpm laminas/facas ???

[@wonderbread2764]

how fast can u go

[@DonnDIY]

Right now around 6-7 km/h max. With the new flywheel/main pulley hopefully faster.

[@Futurebeefcake]

Of course I get "too notch lawn care" favorite mower ad "walker mowers"

[@Hammerjockeyrepair]

making the engine pulley larger would speed the blades up.

[@DonnDIY]

I've done it already.

[@brycelindstrom9697]

i want that so bad

[@coldbloodedscientist6159]

I'personaly like sickle mower better than rottary mowers!

[@pawelaco]

super extra

[@lauriruudus]

Huvitav, kas oled inseneerimist kusagil ka õppinud või on lihtsalt jaan tatikalik lähenemine?!

[@DonnDIY]

Nii seda kui teist. 😀

[@скотэштон]

Не понятно.Зачем косить такую малую (низкую)траву?
