Ultimately that is what may happen with the Allis. there is a grass collection cart to it that i can get my hands on. Basically the thought path on this is use one of the other mowers to actually do our property then use the allis to lug the cart around to collect the cuttings. Though i may be able to adapt the cart to one of the others.



Which brings me back to the idea of adapting the Allis to be a plow tractor for snow removal. I kinda have it worked out in my head as to how to fit the plow frame in such a way that it allows the machine to be dual purpose. Though it is kind of pointless to be given i would obviously have the other mowers. None the less the idea would be to use the lifting mechanism from the mower deck for said blade, Probably design the plow frame to accept some sort of weight up front as well so it can dig in. Since it is a rear engine it does have the advantage of having a fair bit of weight on its rear tires.
