Bush Hog to 'semi' Finish mower Conversion???

The farm has changed over the years from 1 cow & 1 horse to just a dog & cat. Whereas I only mowed the fescue when it was 2 feet tall, now I keep it like a lawn. It's aprox 10 somewhat rolling acres I am grooming.

I keep thinking about adding front wheels on the Hog so I can drop it level and quit gouging the ground at all the rises and turns. I know it will still have hog blades. What I am thinking of is adding 2 wheels on the front corners I can remove if needed. I want it at a fixed height just so the edges don't touch the ground. I have ideas how to do it.

Questions: 1. Am I the first to wonder this? (I doubt it)
2. Any inventions/mods out there to cure this?
3. Is it usless due to the low clearance of the bush hog sides?(to keep projectiles inside)

In the Army I drove a Gamma Goat. That thing articulated front to back and side to side, like a big earth mover. Don't think I want to go that far!

When I install a certain model of Laser Imager at work I have to remove 2 packing parts from the optics module. They are PVC sch 40 about 18" X 1 1/4". The PVC has been cut length wise and a 3/4" or so gap runs the length of the pipe. I have thought of installing some on the bottom edges of the hog deck where it digs in to make it smoother.
This would be prototype only as PVC would not take to rocks & such. 45 degree or so bend at front to give sort of "sled" curve.

I think of this while mowing.
TOO many other projects going on now!
