Thinking ahead a bit since I haven't gotten very deep into SCUT shopping yet. If I do, I won't have much available to buy extras and I don't think the small machines I'm considering will handle a larger rotary cutter. BUT, the brain commenced to wonderin' ....

I have one of these:

The front section separates and you have this:

... which is basically a 3' rotary cutter which will take down most of what gets in its way. Under that gray hood is a large pulley that connects by belt to the drive pulley on the engine section.

Aside from the obvious issues of wheels and a 3Pt mounting frame which can be dealt with, is it possible to add a mechanism to run it off a PTO? If so, how and at what cost? It would have to be something that could be easily removed and converted back to the original self-propelled unit.

How many HP is the engine on it now? How many PTO HP will you likely have?

Probability is you'll spend a lot of money, mount it, and the first time you actually cut with it the tractor will rip it apart.
