Thought I'd share this interesting 3PH implement. What possibly could go wrong????

Interesting design. I like the way each mower is individually mounted so they can articulate. I actually thought of doing something similar on a smaller scale.

I cut 7 acres with an 84" 3pt mower and it takes close to 3 hours. To shorten that time a bit, I've been thinking of attaching two 26" gas mowers to an SSQA plate. They would be mounted outboard of the 84" mower to increase the cut width to 136". They would articulate with the terrain and could be easily lifted out of the way with the FEL when necessary.

What I really need is a batwing, but they are expensive and are towed, which makes it difficult to maneuver around obstacles.

I saw that too. I wonder if he used rope or are those old coat hangers? 🫣

I have two push mowers that worked great, until they didn't. I'm sure it's from dirty gas, or the gas gumming up the carburetor.

I can't imagine trying to start more than just one push mower!!!!

Looked at that picture - my toes began to ache.

I wonder what the cut looks like.

So... what do you do when that "thing" starts to lift off like a helicopter.

What happens when one engine stops and the others are running? You would need to stop and fix things.

Even running out of fuel can vary between each machine.

Plus very expensive to fuel up all those separate engines.

Overall, not a practical solution.

This is way better!
