And another option I would have looked at if I had that area to mow would have been to bolt 2 18 inch mowers together so you can get a 35 inch cut. Bit of work setting it up but would soon make up the time it took to build it. And then there is the further option of building this twin mower using an Ariens self propelled drive and that would be an amazing machine. And then you could also use a complete Ariens swivel front wheel one with a pair of 16 inch mowers bolted to the front on each side and you could end up with a 50 inch cut. Now that would be an awesome machine. I must stop thinking of ideas like this.
