thinking of building a weedwacker to go behind my cub
 

I got the idea from a previous post. a member on here said that he used. 155 weedeater string in place of these blades on this deck. what I'm going to do is take and build a frame it will hold three spindles hubs off on old mower deck build the same type of blade system that he was talking about and power it with a 10 and a half horse Briggs and Stratton and build a 3 point system with a tilting mechanism where I could mow slopes with my cub it would have approximately a 96 inch cut when finished I'll have some pictures soon to post to the frame that I've already got built so far and keep you updated as I go along

Sounds cool! Just to add to that line of thinking, I always thought it would be cool to have a string trimmer head mounted on the front corner of a mower deck. Have it be able to drop in place to engage, and run off the mower belt. That way you could edge around the house, trees, etc..

Pull behinds intrigue me, too,,, but, I have yet to start one,,, :bigthink:

I know if I built one, it would have my first ever vertical shaft engine,,,, :beerchug:

What deck are you "stealing" spindles off of??? :Huh:

I've got an old Sears suburban with a deck on it that I'm probably going to take the 3 spindles off ofI hope to get all this fabricated. I gotta Cub Cadet 2000 MTD that I'm with now but I I've just recently got to 582 with a creeper gear that I want to build a 3 point hitch for and have it be my main plowing tractor I've got all the attachments in three point. I've got the big Sears back blade, moleborde bottom plow with the rolling Couplow,cultivators, and a bedding plow, also I've got a rear tine tiller that mounts on the threepoint.
