A bloke wants me to get a lightish self propelled slasher for him so he can clean around all his fruit trees. The area is about 1.5 acres and he cuts most of it with a rideon but he needs to slash in around under the trees and there is rows of them. He is physically on the shall size and I doubt he would be able to manhandle a bulky machine around the area because it is also on the side of a hill so self propelled is a must. I have found an old Deckson slasher in Melb all be it on the other side of Melb, that should be suitable for him. The thing that is holding me back a bit is the cone drive which is there but looking a bit worn and I'm wondering if I might be able to fit a cone from a Cox or similar as the Deckson is NLA. Long bow to draw but does anybody have any thoughts on this idea or am I being stupid in thinking of going down this path?
