What is the deal, are these home made? I suppose the rubber tire acts as the clutch also when the mower hits something. Would like a shredder for my M. Never knew about these things but they look like a smart design, yes?

those were kinda alright until the tire goes flat from thorns bring sucked under it. we had 3 or 4 guys with them, They would usually show up on a very hot day with a flat tire, we would spend an hour digging thorns out and cleaning everything up after they put slime or some other stuff in there. Always took a new tube as the rims sit around and got rusty so a TL tire would not stay up.

I used to mow gas lines w/ an international side mount balanced head sickle bar mower & a FMC Sidewinder (tire driven) in the rear (approx. 10'swath). Great combination between the 2, the cutter bar could reach into the edges & give approx. 180 deg.(up & down) for banks/ditches, & the sidewinder could bush hog any of the big or thick stuff (saplings, brush etc.) The tire had shims which you could take out as the tire wore, & you could flip the tire to the other side once one side was worn out (it took a while to wear out). No gear box or shear pins to deal with. A great system!

This unit was equipped with an 11 HP Honda engine with fuel shutoff, adjustable flow and optional syphon degreaser dispenser. It didn't have a pressure release or electric start to facilitate easy starting but according to the instructions, simply pulling on the trigger while cranking was sufficient. This method of starting proved more than adequate and kept the cost down on the unit. It had all the important
