Any craftsman or MTD brand riding mower I have ever owned couldn't last a season with out breaking a spindle or bending a blade. Theres no way in hell I'm going to spend time making one into a "brush mower" theh can hardly stay together mowing grass.
Anyone ever make there own swisher

Europe has 'high grass' mower decks that mount under lawn tractors. Essentially, their front and back are open like a rotary cutter. Would be easy to fabricate.

Someone on here years back had an older commercial Zero Turn converted to large tires that could mow 12" and down to 6". I can't find the thread now.

There was a guy locally who cut out the side of his push mower so it could get rid of brush better. When hitting a stump, the blade broke off which took his foot from underneath him.

Looks similar to the Meg-Mo blades which are reviewed in this thread:
Meg-Mo swinging blades -- first impressions
In this thread: Has anyone had any experience with "swinging lawn mower blades"? I said I was going to order some Meg-Mo swinging blades and report back. I had the chance today to do some mowing with them and here are my day one thoughts.
