I started this project back in June, and am finally making it towards the end. Just a few details to finish off now.
I wanted a mower that was wide enough to cover the tracks of the Wheelhorse (54"), would cut rough grass and brush, handle junk going through it, and also be able to fit though a garden gate (to get to gated areas).
So I came up with the idea of a mini batwing mower, folded width 30", opened 56".
I used parts mainly from old Wheelhorses to make it easy to get parts over making my own, but would still be strong enough.
The bar sticking up is threaded rod, you turn it to change the cut height
Similar thing for the front hitch, turn the bar to change the height
