But I would love to see some pictures of the rigs you all use that allow you to mow at a steep angle so as to trim up trails.

You own the best mower for that already!

Sawyer Rob, what I meant to ask is how do you set your mower up to cut at a 90 degree angle? You mentioned some type of bar you made to do it. Do you have a picture of that?

I don't think I have a pict., but I just took a piece of flat bar long enough to bolt on the mower frame and the other end is bolted to the sickle bar, holding it straight up.

Just bend the steel and drill holes in the flat bar as needed...

Thanks. I'll check into doing something similar when my buddy let's me back into his welding shop to work next month.

well as an update to my thread i ended up with a ford 505. same as the ih 1300 from my research. looks to be in excellent condition. although i had my heart set on an nh 451 i couldn't pass the ford 505 up at $450 so i rolled the dice wit that one. thanks for all the advice.
