Weed surfer using combine rape extension header?

[Horn&corn]

Would this be strong enough if mounted on front linkage of tractor?

I’ve never used one or taken much notice of others but a lot of charlock coming through the organic winter cropping and need something to take out before sets seed. Does it need full header to make it strong enough or Any other suggestions. Guessing they could be quite cheap as fewer growing rape in uk?
Thanks

You've beaten me to it! Sorry not a useful reply, I've been trying to find an abandoned combine header here to do similar, mount on the front with hydraulic pump running the finger cutter. Normally the steel cutter bar has flex on one's I've seen? but yours does look massively wide. I'm looking for it to terminate cover crops in front of the drill. You could always have a A frame on the linkage and run two support steel cables out to prevent to much downwards flex when its in the air?

I’ve run a standard topper backwards to sort cover crops but I’d like something wider. Picture is just off random website but I’ve got no idea if it would be strong enough on linkage alone. Not keen on wires and rather it wasn’t a full header due to extra weight and gathering material to the centre. Need an old finger bar mower 9m wide!

Maybe I should. Get this going again and come along as there is no traffic

Simple answer, NO WAY. They are made to bolt on to a standard table

Is that you from over the valley Mr Pom? Looks a beast! Any chance I can hire the topper later in the season?
