I have a 2006 Husqvarna GTH2448 (Briggs) bought new, I use at home, which is 35,000 ft. to cut. It has 1200 hours on it. Then I have a 2011, GTH2654 (Kohler) at our land in the country (ten acres). I bought used with 300 hours on it two years ago. Which I use to cut the back four acres, 200,000...

I started this nearly three years ago. How to design a front loader for a garden tractor? Offsetting 200 pounds in front of a riding mower or garden tractor is a lot of weight. The new design incorporates several innovations. As the scoop is lifted it also tilts back about 40 degrees all in one...

Have worked on this project for a couple years now. Designed to take all the work out of laying mulch. Fits Husqvarna and Craftsman garden tractors 2006 and up. Hope to have it for sale in a few more months. Here is a short video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvmytgVnA88

Soon we will be testing this prototype. This one is close to the finished version. Nearly the bugs have been worked out. After two years I am close to being able to say, it's finished. Should be ready for powder coating in a week or so. As I have said before. Moving mulch as darn hard work. This...

2006, Husqvarna GTH2448T, 850 hours, replaced the drive belts and that's about it. I use it 12 months a year with a shed full of attachments.

This was my first attempt. I learned my lesson about overhang, weight and balance real quick. My present design cuts the weight balance in half just by bring everything back 12 inches. The difference is like night and day. It did work and you could drive around but it was like steering a...

OK, my neighbors laughed at first. But the darn thing works great. My wife gave me this portable fan to use on the back porch on hot days. During some serious grass cutting one day when the temp was pushing a 100 I put it to use. Don't laugh this thing will save your life on a hot day. Now if I...

Tom, thanks for your interest. In this photo you can see the side mounting plates. It is bolted on. The whole mounted frame is .250 plate steel. Bucket is .125 steel. Steel 3/4 inch spacers keep it off the frame. Two of the 3/8-16 bolts go through the engine stiffener plate also. Five bolts per...

I have worked on this project for nearly two years now. They say, build a better mouse trap and world will beat a path to your door. Well, I hope this is the answer. Laying mulch is a back breaking labor intensive job. Putting down 30 yards of mulch is a major undertaking which until now...
