Similar principle only using a Ford deck as a starting point. Since I moved to Tennessee I sure could use a front mounted brush cutter. Not working on one at the moment but it is a good idea. Using that one with a horse between you and the cutter it may work. Most body parts would be out of harm's way It could also double as a rodent eliminator. Maybe @Pullstart Kevin can get to work on it Definitely would need a seat switch 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure but I think you may be referring to @kpinnc… I just know that he said something like what he is building will only be used where no living animal, two or four legged, is around… Edited May 27, 2023 by Horse Newbie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,625 #14 Posted May 27, 2023 This is quite a beast of a brush cutter. 5mm Square nylon trimming line on a 4.5 hp Honda engine. It makes light work of heavy grass and brambles. I was thinking of mounting a Stihl brush saw blade on her to really clear some stubborn brush. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 6,659 #16 Posted May 29, 2023 I see the problem with that brush cutter. You have to be in front of it to start it. He's luck to have only lost one leg. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very observant I never even thought about that In that case, if I was to use that on the front of a horse I would have electric start on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similar principle only using a Ford deck as a starting point. I did.... I think i. Bushes 2-3 cm thick should go with it But not a Ford Deck, i used a relatively cheap 2 Wheeler Attachement and reworked it for my Horse.. 4 Blades each disc with calculated 4200 rpm should be doing the Trick. And. Yes, it is not centered, because the Cutting zone is just 80cm and my 656 have 87cm width. so if i centered it, i would drive over the Cut what is a bad idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
