Abstract
A suspended mower device is disclosed which is a tool engineered explicitly for efficiently mowing terrains with challenging attributes. The suspended mower device comprises a compact tractor or skid steer that supports an attachment component configured to support a mower over inclined areas. The attachment component comprises a dual unistrut or dual square tubing and chains which allow the mower component to hover. As the mower hovers above the surface, the cutting blades consistently engage with the grass, ensuring an even cut. Further, a set of wheels affixed to the mower offer stabilization on all terrains. Additionally, the compact tractor has a hydrostatic drive, which acts to control the mower's speed and the tractor's bucket control is used to adjust the mower's height, angle, and orientation.
Claims19
A suspended mower device that provides a user with a tool for mowing sloped or inclined areas, the suspended mower device comprising:
- an attachment component;
- a fixed frame or dual square tubing;
- and
- a mower;
- wherein the attachment component is secured to a compact tractor or a skid steer;
- wherein the attachment component is secured to the fixed frame or dual square tubing;
- wherein the fixed frame or dual square tubing is secured to a mower;
- wherein the attachment component is anchored to a front bucket of the compact tractor or skid steer;
- and
- further wherein the mower hovers above a surface to cut grass on an inclined slope.
A suspended mower device that provides a user with a tool for mowing sloped or inclined areas, the suspended mower device comprising:
- an attachment component that comprises a tubular rod with opposing first and second ends;
- a fixed frame or dual square tubing that comprises a pair of tubular bars arranged in a parallel configuration secured to a horizontal support bar creating a frame;
- and
- a mower which is a grass trimming tool comprised of a base with a central motor which can be gas powered or hydraulic, a rotary blade mechanism for cutting grass, and a set of wheels;
- and
- wherein the first end of the attachment component is secured to a front bucket of a compact tractor or skid steer via clamps, screws, or bolts;
- wherein the opposing second end secures to the fixed frame or dual square tubing;
- wherein the fixed frame or dual square tubing serves as the frame and is anchor point for a plurality of chains which secure the mower;
- wherein the plurality of chains can be adjusted in terms of their length and ensure that the mower retains a forward orientation and movement, regardless of a terrain's angular variations;
- wherein anchored at terminal points of the plurality of chains is a mower;
- wherein the mower comprises adjustable rollers between the set of wheels, which act as guides;
- wherein the mower hovers above a surface to cut grass on an inclined slope;
- and
- further wherein the compact tractor or the skid steer employs a hydrostatic drive which is operated in conjunction with the mower to control the mower's speed.
A method of suspending a motor to mow a sloped or inclined area, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing a suspended mower device comprising an attachment component with a fixed frame or dual square tubing and chains and a mower;
- securing the chains to the mower;
- securing the chains to the fixed frame or dual square tubing;
- securing the fixed frame or dual square tubing to the attachment component;
- securing the attachment component to a compact tractor or skid steer;
- controlling the mower's speed via a hydrostatic drive of the compact tractor or skid steer;
- adjusting the mower's height, angle and orientation via the compact tractor's bucket control;
- and
- hovering the mower over an inclined surface to consistently engage with the grass to cut it.
