“Made It Myself” All-Hydraulic Mower
 |
“It’s powered by a Chevy Geo 3-cyl. 1.0 liter gas engine that belt-drives hydraulic pumps. The pumps drive the hydrostatic transmission as well as the 60-in. deck and vacuum system. It’s equipped with wide tires to get through mud and minimize lawn damage.
“All components are new and heavy-duty. The hydraulic tanks are made from aluminum and it’s fitted with lights. I worked with a hydraulic engineer to get everything right. Unfortunately, he died before we were able to finish it. Everything works and operates, but not to peak performance because something isn’t quite hooked up right.
“I think this will be an amazing mower, but it needs more engineering and I can’t justify hiring the help I need. So I’d like to sell it to someone who has the knowledge to finish it. Contact me and I can explain what I’ve got in more detail.”
