Mitigate the problems that you might feel would arise, wear some good bodyarmour and connect the battery, I think I would have a go but what really puts me off is all those drive belts to the T/r , wind blown leaves would cause those belts to come adrift, they look flat would be better if Vees. and short belt connection to drive a lightweight shaft thru a small G/Box
Get some body to Vid it when your trying, Oh and what about tethering it to a couple of tractors, very interesting! Good luck!
