I'm just too cheap to spend that much on a ready built implement. That was my original idea until i came across the very cheap brush hog. I know spinning the brush hog at 3500 rpms wouldn't be wise. I may have lucked out and found one semi local priced pretty good that "starts for a few...

Anybody ever taken a typical brush hog and converted it to a "trail mower". I'm using trail mower because thats what I've seen the internet calling it. Basically a small trailer that you pull behind a UTV/ATV to mow with. I've recently come across the need for something like this. My...

or just cut out rusted rockers and put some sliders on it to cover the holes up

i had an issue once with mine backing off on my hobart then realized i had the wire spool on basically backwards. In other words as the wire was coming off the spool it was loosening the nut. By simply flipping the wire spool over when it was feeding it wouldn't loosen any longer.

Definitely could be worse and being a good guy helped. That’s the main reason I don’t have a set from fireball! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

apparently supply and demand are real... Hes up to $20 and $30

the only way I would go with 1/8 is if it had a ton of gussets which likely would be in the way of the winch. Are you mounting an 8K+ winch?

paint the Thing would be a crime! strip the bumper to bare metal and let it do its thing!

you say big bolts on the tub so I'm assuming you are talking about the body mount bolts to the frame? If this is the case you're fairly screwed unless you intend to replace some of the floor pans. I'm assuming you aren't rattling on them with a large impact as the hold down tabs on the tub...

they may make some good products but he blew me off kind of like he did you for several weeks. That was enough for me to know I didn't need to buy them. Like the guy above I just made my own

duct tape is NEVER the weak point :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I ended up going with the 2x72 mostly for belt longevity and selection. Maybe someday I will actually have time to finish it but like normal too many other projects have it on the back burner

Do not weld it it will warp I don’t care what some say. That’s the sole reason I went through the hassle of bolting down my 1/2” top. I have made some for others out of 1” and they wanted them welded and they do warp. Here’s how I attached mine. It would have been easier to drill and tap but me...

Thanks guys for the info. I ended up cheaping out. Damn $20 off Eastwood coupon got me. For $80 it’s worth a shot I guess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any out there using one of these regularly? I'm considering biting the bullet and purchasing one. I cut a quite a bit of 14ga in order for it to fit onto my little plasma table (24x24) and have been doing it with a cut off wheel and I'm getting tired of the mess, sparks, noise, but mostly the...
