Flymo- $66 DIY production trimmer?

O

I was reading thru the 'Garden Groomer' trimmer post the other day and a few of the comments made me wonder if anyone ever tried adapting a Flymo Electric Mower/Vac for production trimming? I was thinking that it might be possible to attach some sort of bbq grill or custom-made grate to the bottom, fabricate a simple stand, and voila a production trimmer for under $100. What do you think? (I've never seen one in person)

Here's the info and schematic. I couldn't find a bottom view image:
