well it ain't rocket science, but the consquences of doing it wrong are life threatning. there's a project book published by the lincoln welding company that has a couple of plans for rotary cutters as well as many other plans. you see them selling for $50 or so on ebay but the books can be had for around $20.00 from lincoln. if memory serves me correct all those designs are based on a manufactured rotart cutter gearbox, blades and driveline. you build the deck. i looked at the idea, and as others have said you can purchase a pretty heavy rhino cutter for about what the metal and the dozens of parts you will have to purchase anyway will cost you. i've seen several people (ok, maybe three) that build equipment better, sometimes much better than can be purchased. i have seen thousands of projects that were much much much worse than purchased equipment. me,,,i'd think of using my time on another less threatning project. bite the bullet and spend the money for a cutter.
