Gang of mowers

#1

To finish cut a field area, after brush hog cutting, I'd like to string a set of push mowers together. A Rube Goldberg kind of thing.

I routinely fix up used mowers, and have been doing this since 1966.
Now as a retired person, it is a hobby..

So, who has a good system for ganging mowers together?

An old neighbor did that with his lawn tractor and a couple of cheap pushers, a 2x4 and some rope for a 72 " cut. It sure made those 4 horses trailing on the right side eat a lot of hay with dirt / dust combined.

If his tractor had a deck he could omit 2 pushers.

Grain drills have had that capability for over 60 years or ever since tractors were large enough to pull 2 drills.

It just all depends on how much work you want to do and how much money you are willing to spend. Good luck and let us know what you end up doing.

I used to pull a gang of reel mowers with a tractor while working at a golf course. Three large reels followed by two to fill the gap. These were commercial mowers of course.
