well guys, ive been thinkin for a couple years to do a 4x6, and now ive decided to do it, im gathering parts now and should be ready to start buildin in febuary. my base mower is a IH cub cadet 782 GT, this mower is really heavy duty.
the stock frame on the mower is 6 foot, front front wheel to back wheel is just under 6 ft, im adding either 3.5 ft or 4 ft to the frame, more than likely it will be 4 ft. this will stretch the frame out to 11 ft. from my measurements and guessing, from front wheel to rear wheel when im done is going to be ~9.5-10 ft. i plan on running at least 25" tall tires, but i am trying to find a set of 27x12x12 tires that are similar to my tres on dixie, if i can then im going to run 27" tires rear. the build is getting a 8" lift  so that is giving me between 20.5"-23" ground clearance. im going to be running 2 posi locked mst-206's on this build. the front tires i have already, ther will be 24x8.5x12 in atv tires. the front end i plan on doing a leaf spring suspension. the motor for this build will be a 18.5 hp briggs opposed twin, im going to run a 1:1:1 ratio. now instead of doing like most people who have built 4x6's ad done a flat bed, im building a 42"wx60"Lx18"H bed for this bad boy. im also planning on a removeable roof and tinted plexiglass windshield. the bed is going to be framed out of 1" square tube and be covered in 16ga steel. its getting a small sound system, which will all be water proof.im also mounting my winch on this thing, this will be my ultimate mower, i plan on using this thing for mudding, trail-riding, yard-work, recovery/repair.

I'm sure if this thing makes it out to Haspin, a deuce themed tractor will be a hit with the steel soldiers guys.

You could add a wrecker boom and winch. If you want to preserve the bed space, you could add a mower size wheel lift under the bed.

and you could use the under bed wheel lift as a bumper in the "Up" position. With the on board air, you could actually make it pneumatic.
