[AT] Are we alive?

It came to me exactly as you see it, Dudley. And it is strictly an owner 
modification, but one done fairly well. The manual I obtained shows the 
cutting angle being changed only by the position of the hitch. I can cut 
from +90° to about -30° from horizontal, which is very handy for dealing 
with the very dense brush along side my lane. I can provide close-up 
images of the cylinder installation and measurements for anyone who is 
interested - just send me a note at <mikesloane at verizon.net>, and will 
get them this afternoon.

I did have to defeat the "break-away" mechanism, as it tripped much too 
easily, but otherwise I just use it exactly the way it came to me.
