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

You realize this is funny as hell. I will be tinkering with this, sez the guy who never lasts more than 100 feet of shore with the whacker, But YES a follow-up video on how to build it would be SWELL.

Great job. Wish you would have showed close up with explanations more of the build. Like the joint in your extension, I don’t see how that is made.

Slick ass snot! Do you have any close up shots of your setup? Thanks for the idea. I'm fixing to close on my grandparents farm. I was out there the other day Cleaning around the pond. I thought "damn, there's got to be a better way." I'm a metal fabricator, so this will be a fairly easy build. Thanks again!

Are front deck mowers worth it? Anymore expensive than mid mount zero turn?
@mrsittingduck4867

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.

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.

Great job! BTW, I don’t know if you have always been chased around by a bunch of yipping chihuahuas, or if the commenters in this thread just decided to have a go at you, but either way, you win !!! If you’d be willing to endure more potential asshat comments, I’d really appreciate a walk around video of your fabrication. I have 2 lakes on my property that I really hate doing the shore work on.

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.
