What do folks think about a front-mount rough-cut deck? Something that would handle light brush. By light brush I mean saplings 3/8" or less, tall grass, multi-flora rose bushes)- stuff like the included photos over 'rough' terrain. My idea is to put a 48" deck on a front carrier. Cut the leading edge of the mowing deck off and replace with chains (like the leading end of a brush-hog). Maybe I'd need to do some modification to this discharge chute as well. Not sure. The carrier would allow me to set a cutting height of about 5-6" which would let me skim over dead limbs, the occasional rock, and the rough terrain. It would also put the deck out front where I could get under trees more easily. Has anyone done anything like this? How do you think this would work? If the area had been previously cleaned by a true brush-hog do you think the existing spindle-blade arrangement would be up to it? Would the belt-drive give some margin for error? I know on my big brush hog, the blades are actually connected to a spinning plate. If the unit hits something hard, the blade can actually pivot at the plate to reduce damage to the unit. Is this crazy? I'd expect to have to clear the area the first time with a proper brush hog, and only use this setup to maintain it- cut it 2-3x per year. Can't seem to upload photos. System keeps complaining: You are only allowed to upload 6.25mb. I've got two JPGs each about 22Kb so not sure what the problem is.
