a weighted box blade would actually do fairly well i believe, maybe even a dirt pan on the back just to weight down the back tires and then put a blade on the front. either way about it, you will need to put alot more weight on the drive axle for it to push or pull anything more than a "mower deck". i have seen people take 5 gallon buckets full of concrete or bigger like a 70# grease can full of concrete hang it of the back and push your heart out with a blade. i DO live in arkansas ok, lol

i LOVE that lawnmower!!! i've seen your pictures of it before, and what i REALLY think it needs is some chrome 2-into-4's out of each side of the hood, with a couple spark plugs 2" from the ends, and some new chrome rims with some Blackwater2000 4-wheeler tires in back and some Cragar "skinnys" up front!! Why screw up a good thing with a d*mned blade?!?!?!?!?

If you were close enough, I'd bring my 54hp John Deere over and move whatever you wanted with the front-end loader and then we'd get down to some serious Bud-time while designing a 4bbl stack and some kewl chromoly headers!!!!!!!!

fun4now,
Nice water cart. How big is that water tank?
My brother is a herbicide/insecticide sprayer. Since he started to do some side jobs, he's been looking for a rig to tow his 20-gal tank around the jobsites either by hand or with a mule.

LOL you are not the first to say that.

summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.

its probably way over built but it was all free steel so i just stuck some stuff together.

if he was near me i would help him out, send him over if he is close.
now i'm going to work on a kick stand to i can leave it with the hitch up like a boat trailer to just back up to. just have not worked out the way i want to do it yet(been playing stick
) but i'll get it there. i need to be able to pull it on and off the mower wile its full so if i need the other wagon on the mower i don't have to lift the water trailer tung and pull it around. lifting is ok as its well balanced but pulling it around is not so easy.

I think Northern sells them like that, but I woudl probably do like you did and just make it. Especially if you already have the tank.Nice job

TSC has them both ways with and without the trailer. about $90 difference between the 2.
so i got the one without the trailer and just used my box trailer till i needed another option, then just made one out of scrap.
