Same. I guess whatever works. And think of how low this guy's overhead is. That's not a bad thing at all.

How do you dump this? There is a video somewhere on youtube of one that this guyand his son built. It is done entirely in mesh though, I think. they just have two swing doors on the back, and it pivots back to dump. I'll try to find it.

Ok, here it is. I couldn't get back on here in time to put this on the same post as an edit because I was getting the "database error" crap. Anyway, here is he link. Check out how it dumps in the end of the video (they are just doing it for demonstration purposes). this is prettu slick for a homemade job. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLGZl9kN-K8

The mower is made by ferris back in 2000 2001 we have 2 of them they are great mowers the one in the pic has an hour meter that shows 2069 hr but it has'nt been working for 8 months The custom cyclone was built off of an original it dumps the same way just raise it up it's just a bit heavier but it work good for what it is it sure beats buying a new plus tough Know

It will hold paint if you sand blast it good. That video is pretty cool. I am almost tempted to make one
