[Complete] Redzz02's Haspin Build [2018 Build-Off Entry]

the haspin build is complete! it technically met all the requirements 6 months ago, but it is now finished to my liking.

2017 was my first year to attend the mowrons haspin acres get together with my mud dynamark, it was built for the type of terrain i have around my camp, flat with deep mud holes. you wont find a hill over 5 feet tall in any of the woods we have access to, ive never done hill climbs on a mower and frankly was terrified the first time i went to haspin i was very uncomfortable with my mud mower seat height sitting almost 3 feet off the ground going up most of the hills we came across, having to get off and walk my mower up some of them. but then you see the mowrons rigs and then you start to understand exactly why they are built the way they are. i have built racing mowers that are good at going fast, ive built mud mowers that do really good in the mud, i have even built lifted mowers that could easily go through a 3 foot deep water hole, but i have never built a well purposed trail rig and thats exactly what the mowrons mowers are, very well thought out purpose built trail rigs and thats where the inspiration for the haspin build came from so here it is

here is my final video


and here is my overview/explanation video of how it was built

it started out as a normal dynamark riding mower and quickly took a drastic turn for the better
with a fully custom tube chassis, briggs and stratton vanguard v twin, pearless 820 live axle, 3 link front suspension, and much more!

chassis:
- dynamark mower with 1x2 stainless steel tubing chassis made to match the original frame dimensions, 3/4 inh steel tubing steering support and upper engine cage support. the sheet metal body tunnel was shortend 4 inches to further lower the center of gravity on the machine

motor:
-16hp briggs and stratton vanguard v twin with a set of ryker racing dual valve spring 18hp heads, port and polished ryker racing twin barrel intake, stock 2 barrel carb, steel push rod mod, and running it ungoverned with my thumb throttle i built. 2 into one side exit hood exhaust

suspension/steering:
-3 link set up with a drag link/panhard bar. links are 3/4inch square tubing with 7/16ths heimjoint ends. chinese remote reservoir atv shocks. along with a direct steering set up running on fully sealed highspeed bearings and also 7/16ths heim joint and 1/2inch tierods

transaxle:
-im running a peerless 820 that has a 1 inch deluxe flexproof 40 inch axle (the diff carrier was drilled to 1inch and keyed to fit the axle) along with being oil filled and topped off with a set of roms pearless gearset upgrade1  giving it a final drive of 5.61:1.   5 inch motor pulley and 6 inch trans axle pulley

brakes:
-atv hydraulic brakes along with an 8 inch on axle rotor

tires/wheels:
- rear tires are 18x9.50-8 Carlisle v treads on itp aluminum dual rock ring 8x8 honda wheels. the fronts are some carlisle x 18x6.50-8 on my custom rock ringed steel 8 inch riding mower wheels with 3/4 highspeed wheel bearings

paint/vinyl:
-rustoleum rubbed bronze metalic, gloss block, carbon fiber chameleon, matte purple metalic

misc.:
-nilight 4 inch round led lights, custom built aluminum fuel cell, car alarm horn, atv battery,  

their has been a lot and a lot of work put into this build and it has performed well over my expectations and many others as well. short from frying a belt and most recently rolling this machine down a hill this past friday, i have had absolutely no issues with this build, i feel very comfortable on hill climbs the direct steering has proven to be a very good design, the front suspension soaks up the bumps and is very stable at highspeeds, the combo between the vtwin and pearless 820 is also holding up and performing just as it should

all in all i hope you guys enjoy this build as much as i have, i wish all of the other competitors the best of luck!, and i really hope i have won over your votes and i hope that we can take another 1st place home this year, thank you all for the support!

I LOVE YOUR BUILD!!!!

Nice job on everything especially the completion videos you made.  I really enjoyed the footage of you hill climbing and telling us all of the nitty gritty details of the build.

@SebastianAlbrecht thank you very much!

@Crazy_Carl thank you very much!, as you can see I ended up going with a thumb throttle and I absolutely love it, it turned out a lot better than I hoped and is actually very easy to control the throttle
