4 tilted and overlapping blades that protrude frontwards about 2".  Cuts before the tires can flatten.  I'm thinking I need one!  I know WH made a front sickle bar and front hanging finish mowers but I've not seen this...

Looks very effective, is it OSHA Approved?

Reminds me of the old Safety Class training motto:

 

"If you think OSHA is a small town in Wisconsin, you're in trouble..."

I could really make use of that on an old fence row...

I think it would be absolutely awesome for me, my trails and up and down the roadside!  There is one on a local Craigslist that looks pretty nice but the tractor is rather sad.  Not sure I want to buy another project just to get the weed cutter working...

There was guy who adapted a Mott mower to run on WH. I do believe he had a few videos.

I couldn't find that link but did find this:

 A front mounted flair mower sounded nice and I mentioned that to someone that had used one.  "Terrible dust and debris!" was the comment!  Not something you want to be driving into, better behind you!  I'd think this weed cutter was mostly just drop the weeds before riding over them.
