Lawn tractor thoughts, should i stop it.

HI all, First post here so hope its in the right place and the right content.


Basically i have a snapper elt140h33abv ride on lawn tractor (14HP front engine) that is in good condition, but i am thinking can i do more with it.


Could I for instance use it to run a saw bench or log splitter, either adding hydraulic pumps etc, flat belt pulley or add a PTO? I can understand it not going to run any massive farm machinery.


See I'm in the process of add a simple tow-ball for moving trailers about and towing wood round the back, and my mind is wandering to, making a trailer, then making attachments to operate my father in-laws sawbench and wood splitter and so on.


What your thoughts- should i wake up and smell the coffee and forget it, or should i try to find out more (is anyone here got info). there seems to be a bit about larger lawn tractors running attachments, and smaller HP engines running saw-benches etc, and some using hydraulics (slower 2 stage pumps) more than PTO or belts.


Your best bet would be to head on over to My Tractor Forum
