Homemade dingo brush cutter

[Msc2177]

I am building a 42" bush hog for my dingo tx425. It will have a 5.9 ci hydraulic motor
Going thru a 40 hp 1:1 gearbox.

A few more pics. I put hinges at the top of quick attach for mowing up slopes

Cool! What hydraulic flow rate does the motor require?

Pretty sweet so far. Are you going to have a pair of castors or skids at the front to limit the cut?

 

[Msc2177]

It is rated for 15.8 but my machine only puts out 11gpm. It should still turn 550rpms

Looks great! I've never seen a mower on a Dingo or the like but it looks like a great idea. Just don't hit any yellow jackets.

I will put 3" flat bar along the bottom for skids. Not sure if I'll need the castors yet.

Will you need to install a hyd. oil cooler for continuous operation?

 

[Msc2177]

I don't believe I'll need an extra cooler. A lot of dingo attachments are built for continuous use. It has a cooler now with an electric fan mounted to it.
