Don't even think about it!
I worked for a company called Tiger Corp. in Sioux Falls, they make one of the finest hydraulic rotary and flail mowers on the market. I did excellerated testing for them a couple of years ago. I took a rotary boom mower, put the head in a six foot deep pit and deflected the knives about an inch and 1/8 to find how long the blades would last on a run at full RPM. We used a number of types of knives of various thickness and quality of metal. Length of time they lasted was anywhere from 8 minutes to around 30 minutes. What people don't realize is that deflection of those knives occurs during your regular mowing. The knives are manufactured by a reputable company, not Tiger. When those knives broke, parts would actually fly through the deck and make holes big enough to put your fist in. The deck metal was 3/8 and 1/4 inch thickness. We appreciate your wanting to manufacture on your own, but try something more safe!
