Our deer lease used to have cows on it, but they're gone now so all the paths and common areas grew up with nasty vegetation. Here's a homemade mower/brush hog I built from a spare lawn-boy engine and Deere riding mower parts, I tow it with a John Deere gator. It works better than I could have hoped. One big change from prototype to finished product was that the grass chute is much bigger on the final product but you cannot see that in the photos. It was fun and took about 3 weeks from sketch to final product working lunch breaks and evenings.

And her I am trying to figure out what kinda HD is in the background.... nice job , looks like you have the proper equipment to do the job..
 
Nice, I have a 60” on my int154 lowboy. With two acres of lawn it’s short work. The only downfall is I’m cutting the white clover I planted for the deer.

I had 70” gang reels on my gravely tractor andvhad a 1/4 acre to cut. It took me longer to drop the outer reels than cut the grass.
