Gary
This is the story of a very particular inventor, Gary, we do not even know his last name, and finally very little about him. What we know is that he bought a tractor mower garden Horse Raider 20, and he loves beer. By cons we know this is a yourselfer.
During a night of drinking beer with some friends, they raved about this garden tractor and an idea came out of, he would turn it into 6×6. The story does not even say why he had this idea, Is it better to hang on his land any dish, or for show ? Nevermind, it is in any case how this transformation has begun and in time 4 years !
Gary is a professional handyman it has a tower, a drill press and a welder.
After some ideas filed on paper, he began plans on computer. And in fact, it will reinvent the ATV, 3 same wheels on each side, wider track, a braking system for rotation.
A shaft will be directly connected to the engine, and the other wheels are driven by chains located outside the tractor and protected by rails.
When he embarked on this adventure, he did not think the engine, it re-manufacture an engine from 2 other, the base engine was 12 CV, merged with 14,5 CV and the result would be an engine of about 20 CV ... If you really want to know everything, check out his videos on YouTube, 48 videos !

From the beginning, it removed the mower, leaving only the lifting system (which does not seem to be under patent Massey Ferguson), say a hybrid and a removable lifting hook for trailers.
After 6×6 ends, he realized that he was not running properly, and decided to lower the central rail, it is then became a 4×4+2 that revolved so much easier !
Personally I wonder why such an operation on a garden tractor ? It hardly rises ratings, do not know properly plow a field, does not float, is too low to pull heavy trailers and to remove a wheel, it must disassemble the side members and the drive system of the other wheels ...
Bon, question look, he is handsome, which brags to his neighbors !!
Thank you to Peter for making me Gohier know Gary.
