I remember a post that told how to convert a lawnmower into a chopper for cutting up forage, leaves, etc.. I tried doing a search in the archives, but could find nothing. Does anyone out there have any hints. Thanks!
I once read an article in either backwoods home or mother earth news about doing this. It looked pretty easy cut a round hole about 4 inches in the mower deck, rivet a piece of metal shaped like a funnel to the hole, feed it with sticks of increasing size until you break something or hurt yourself. Best of luck with it. Kirk
Kirk pretty well covers the article as I recall reading it. It was in a magazine, but I can no longer recall which one it was. I converted my previous lawn mower to do this. It works OK for *thin* stuff and things like corn stalks, but don't try to put stick in it thicker than your finger. My brother bent the crankshaft on that one and I haven't done it with the new mower. .....Alan.
I just cut one side out of a large cardboard box and mow away at the leaves or whatever inside the box.
