Dude you are a freaking genius. You should patent that and sell it. I’ve driven my zero turn grasshopper off into the pond a couple of times and had to pull it out twice with my UTV. I hate using a weed eater on my pond. Thanks for the video

Makingthepush, thanks for the reply. This is a prototype I ginned up to see if it would work, and it did. I need to make a few improvements; bigger rollers, bigger casters, and a larger discharge opening. I plan on working on it this summer and will post it when I get it done. I put it up for a couple of buddies to look at and had no idea others would be interested. Attracting the knobs stupid comments was just an added bonus... I am fascinated by the morons.

No. It is a very old mower, before mid-mounts. It is a bumpier ride. The one nice thing is it is good for mowing under fences and shoving the deck up under pine trees.

My papaw has a bush hog on a huge arm that reaches down the bank and cuts the grass, not sure what you call it lol but for the size of the pond this looks like it does a good job! Much better then getting wet grass thrown all over you from the weed eater.

That's awesome. Can't believe all the hate you're getting. People can be real a-holes for no reason. I built something similar for my dad who has steep ditches that otherwise would have to be cut with a string trimmer. He's getting older and it was getting harder for him to cut the lawn. Check it out on my channel.

Mr Sittingduck thanks, I made it so the ditch mower and the boom arm comes off the the front of the rider as one with just a pull of a hitch pin. The only thing I would have changed if I had more time to build it would be casters on all 4 corners. Unfortunately we live half way across the country from each other so it will have to wait.
