speaking of murder machines

That thing someone posted DIY would be one brutal SOB on 2 1/2 acres I vote rent, although you might build something for the lawn mower, does have a PTO?

No, it does not, just the single pulley underneath

For a while I ran a snow thrower attachment on it, and it was a simple as dropping the deck, installing the snow thrower and putting the belt on

I was thinking I could convert the free deck for that
make some mounting brackets, ad two wheels, cut the front open to expose the blades and bobs yer uncle



I'll see if I can pull it up on google earth tomorrow to get an idea of truly how big a "path" I would want to cut, but it is clearly not the whole 2.5 acres

Renting one may be the best option
