Hi Max,
pretty ingenious setup there and the bike has a pumped oil system so the slopes do not present a problem to it and I guess the fact you are using a Briggs means that if it oil starved you could just grab another motor from your pile.Seems a bit of a waste just dragging an 18 inch cut around like that, a 24 would be a better option I would have thought. Another option I think would be to forward mount a 24 on the quad bike and fit a pair of castor wheels on the front of it. This gives you pumped oil in the quad bike and a 2 stroke for the mowing, couldn't go wrong and eliminates all the issues with trying to keep a ride on mower maintained. This to me sounds like the best option if I had to build something. The 24 out the front would be made removable so the bike could be used for other things if needed. Something like this could be built for a fraction of the cost of a Deutscher etc.
