[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 119551, member: 13825"] feel free to read all you like on Newton’s laws of motion , as well as other formulas that can teach you about MASS in motion! and the OEM have there own specific ways they measure each machine to get spec's on what it can hold a HD 6 ft fail mower weighs about what 1800-2000 lbs??, ( an average HD 6 tft brush hog is about 1200-1300 lbs and is spread out across a 6+ ft area, NOT all at 4+ ft in front of a machine as OP was talking about doing, so its far from an apples to apple comparison, yet you already noticed the ill effects of it nose diving on you) which is most likely about the MAX of your skid steers rating carrying capacity and that is with the weight sucked into as close to the machine as there OEM spec bucket was designed for NOW you take that MAX rating and stick it out 4 + ft from the machine, and ALL lifting parts and things there mounted too get effected by added stress and weight from leverage take weight and put it into motion, and you have added effects!,(newtons laws of physic's look them up, if you are to learn about them!, I'm not here to do so for you) and I understood your SCISSOR action, yes that would maybe work, but at what costs to fab up and design and make< yes I agree for short use it would be most likely OK, but its not changing what I said that it is adding stress to the machine doing so! you take a 10 lb weight hold it next to your chest, and then try same thing only with your arm fully extended, suddenly the weight feels a lot more and the longer you hold it out the weaker your arm will get, do it OFTEN and the shorter the amount of time, before your arm gets weaker this is an example what wear and tear will be on your machine when you do so! ONLY a human ARM has muscles, if done enough they can get stronger, where a machine's FIXED parts will only weaken over time, NOT get stronger! and your still going to have more FLACK flying back at the cab with a fail mower extended out 4+ ft in front of you, if you think stuff is coming at you now>> your soon to get even more!, I make a door if you don;t have one if you plan to do the mod to the mower! and as for adding wheels, I'd also maybe considering, adding some HD coil springs to wheels like above, this way they can follow the un even terrain of the ground, by applying some down force to the wheels, just need strong enough springs to still HOLD up the weight of the mower Like I stated, I am NOT bashing, just adding honest info and opinions I have based on my experience and knowledge I have gained over the yrs, you don;t have to like them, but they are honest!
