Just look at a mower deck you can lift it up and down. And it can float over terrain. All while its running. At least 4 or5 inches.

Very comfortable to ride on when mowing for hours. Trust me. lol It is basically a swing arm. You can see it all on their website at www.simplicitymfg.com They also have fabricated mowing decks instead of stamped ones. Really tough reliable tractors, not like all this half-plastic stuff.

Fri 05 Jun 2015, 8:46 pm its so simple its stupidly hard. all it is is a swing arm on a normal trans. the belt would be just fine. simplicity has made tractors that articulate in the rear and the belts have no problem with falling off. you could do that for cheep with the northers tools shocks
