Front mount 40 inch brush cutter

[dodgem78]

In the 60's I had a40 inch brush cutter . It was on a B-12. It had 4 blades that stuck out about 2-3 inches front. Does anyone know of one in existence now days? I wish I had kept the one I had.

What search terms did you use?

 

[Bonez]

I type simplicity on the front page of craigslist. It has a place in the upper left side to search the area you are looking in. I look at any place I am willing to drive to , or if I find it and it's to far I ask if they will ship. I also look in farm and garden and also type simplicity in the search box. The weed cutters are going for 300 to 400 and about 100 if you can get them to ship. I love mine but I have the utmost respect for it. You really can't see the blades and mine is almost silent when running. If I find another I can post it on here for you if you like. I spent about 8 months looking for mine and I'm glad I didn't give up. Hope this helps!

Midniteoyl, you might also try this site. It's only $10.00 a year and you can often find rare parts, manuals that you can download and a host of good people to help figure out issues and meet and make some good friends. I have bought things from members and they are honest people and have helped me in many ways with my garden tractors. I own 7 different simplicity tractors and the manuals that I have downloaded are worth more than that.

Hope this helps. http://www.simpletractors.com

What powers this cutter, hydraulics ? Is it mounted to your loader arms ? Know I probably sound ignorant but I've never seen this before and I'm interested now !

Thanks in advance,

Rich

It's belt-drive, off the front PTO, and the drive/hitch is very similar to that used for the 36" and 42" snowblowers.

Thanks Kent...neat "gizmo"...wonder if they ever made a hydraulic one...I don't have a front PTO...looks like the cats meow for trimming around my pond...

thanks again,

Rich

The engine shaft come out of the front grille and is used as a PTO. The cutter is belt driven off the front PTO. The tractor has common mounts for all front attachments (powered and non-powered)
