So there is an 8N with live PTO!

RobCons · Oct 1, 2021

I could use that. I bet that baby makes an awesome noise.

The old Ford tractor dealer in our county actually designed something very similar for N tractors back in the 40's.
The chainsaw pretty much shut down his tractor saw.

I suppose some one will try to blame this on Geo-Th,In ?

grandpa Love · Oct 1, 2021

At first glance I thought it was one of his! Lol. Just teasing!

Looks good to me.

Heres an ancient video of a half-scale version of that ''Death Machine'' in action mounted on a Gibson ''D'' garden tractor.

I remember a neighbor having a walk behind tractor with a blade attachment like that.

Scary looking thing!

I picked up a bunch of Gravely attachments years ago,there was a front mounted saw like that in the bunch.It was two feet in diameter,and looked scary. I was careful who I sold that piece to.The young fellow that bought it,(very capable with that stuff)said it really worked great in the kind of brush and undergrowth it was made for.He did say that iff he wasn't paying attention and walked it into something too fast the blade would bite instead of cutting.Then it would rip the handlebars out of your hands and try to flip over.He said it was still much better than him and his dad with a 2 man,2 engine chain saw duck-walking along holding that saw 10 inches off the ground to reclaim the old fields.

I've got something similar made by Ottawa. It has a Continental motors engine on it.

When I got it it had a Simmons rubber impeller pump mounted on it.

Dang! Great video! I need that Ford!

The walk behind saw blades are available commercially. Looks similar to a DR.

I have an old self propelled lawn mower that has a blade that sticks out a good 2 inch on the forward edge of the deck and the blades are sickle sections on a big flat disk

Somewhere, probably on here I saw an N with a FEL and attached to the FEL was a regular rotary lawn mower. That in itself may not sound too bad, but the guy was using it to trim the tops of his hedge....higher than the steering wheel on the N........

I think you would fry the clutch on a ford tractor. Need a tractor with HST for it to work properly.
As a kid, dad used a buzz saw and tractor with flat belt to cut fire wood.
If you think this is dangerous think of a buzz blade turning and you are standing on snow covered ground cutting firewood with a spinning blade close by.

Dear barney

Bret4207 · Oct 2, 2021

I'm planing on building something similar to mount on a FEL. Can't decided between a circular saw or a chainsaw. Either way it will be powered by a vertical shaft 5hp engine and used to trim brush under fence lines.

Those new chipper blades they have now look interesting.
