Ditch Cutting Lawn Mower Mounts On Loader Bucket
 ✖  |
Mowing ditches and along the edges of creeks and fence lines is no longer a problem for Lloyd Cowan, Manotick, Ont., who made a hitch that mounts a 22-in. wide push mower alongside the bucket on his tractor loader, tying the mower handles to a metal bracket that extends out the side.
Cowan uses the loader-mounted mower to trim ditches on his property.
“It’s simple to use and results in a nice even cut,” says Cowan. “Using the bucket I can see what I’m doing without having to turn around. I use it to mow along the edge of a creek that runs across my property, and also to mow the steep banks along my driveways. So far I haven’t bent anything and it has worked fine.
“I use my New Holland 3010 tractor to operate it. I can raise or lower the bucket and also tilt it up or down to adjust the position of the mower.”
He left the handle on the mower and removed the wheels. He then had a bracket made to hang the mower from a length of sq. tubing, which bolts to the top of 8-in. manure forks mounted on front of the bucket. Four metal legs are welded to brackets that bolt onto each corner of the mower deck. One end of the square tubing slides through a slot in a pair of metal brackets at the top of the legs and pins onto them. The other end bolts onto 2 of the forks, one close to the side of the bucket and the other back a ways.
