Hi, I need a powerfloat for about 5 different jobs, but as usual Im skint so a bit of diy may be in order.
How feasable is it to convert a old ride on or pedestrian lawnmower to a powerfloat? Ive got a couple knocking round that have knackered cutting decks and various other small problems that can be the donor.
The way I see it, its a case of change the grass blades for the powerfloat blades that you can buy seperately relatively cheap, then riddle the cutting deck with holes/bar spaceframe parts of it to ventilate it. Ive looked round at commercial ones and the specs are usually a 8hp motor, which is why I was thinking one of the ride ons.
Feasable? more trouble than its worth?
