lawnmower wheels instead of skid shoes
Original Message   Mar 22, 2009 8:53 pm
has anyone done this mod? i read somewhere where this was done to a degree of success and effectiveness, especially on a gravel surface.
of course, an adapter of sorts will be needed. i was thinking maybe the adjusting part that the wheel attaches to on the lawnmower to be used as that adapter.

any cons to doing this?

Here is another option for you, that blends some of the benefits of a skid and a ball? This is a skid shoe used on large plows. I saw these in a catalog in 4 & 5" diameter, but they are quite expensive at around $100.  They would also add quite a bit of extra width to your machine.



Cheers
