How To: CHOOSE RIDING MOWER ATTACHMENTS Skill Level: BEGINNER These how-to's are suitable for people who are new to DIY and who have a basic knowledge of tools. If you've painted a room or re-potted a plant, you can probably complete one of these projects by yourself in a few hours or less. Riding mowers are versatile power tools that can be used to do more than just cut the grass. With a variety of available attachments, riding mowers can help with yard work all year round. SELECTION To get the most out of a front-engine riding lawn mower, select from the many task attachments available. With a properly selected attachment, riding mowers can rake, spread, aerate, haul, plow, and perform numerous other yard care jobs throughout the year. Following are popular attachments available for many front-engine riding mowers. Lawn Sweeper or Grass Catcher (A.) Two of the most common riding mower attachments are a lawn sweeper and grass catcher. They not only collect lawn clippings during mowing, they’re also ideal for picking up leaves in the fall. Tow-Behind Spreader (B.) Another practical attachment is a tow-behind spreader that can efficiently and evenly spread seed and fertilizer over your lawn in the spring and fall. Aerators (C.) To make sure that fertilizer gets to the roots where it’s needed, consider a tow-behind aerator. It punches holes in the turf to help your lawn get the nutrients and water it needs. Dethatchers (D.) A dethatcher can help remove dead grass that can block oxygen and nutrients from getting to your lawn’s root system. A. B. C. D. IMPORTANT Before you select and install riding mower attachments, refer to the mower specifications to determine what attachments can be safely mounted. If you have questions, discuss the job with a Lowe's associate or call a professional for help. 01 For more how-to videos visit Lowes.com/Videos How To: CHOOSE RIDING MOWER ATTACHMENTS SELECTION (cont.) E. F. G. Dump Cart (E.) If you have a large garden or yard, a dump cart can be a big help. Dump carts can transport landscaping tools and yard materials such as seedlings, fertilizer, and other supplies without making multiple trips. Dozer Blade (F.) A dozer blade is a useful tool to help make snow removal easier. - TIP: When you use front mounted attachments you need some extra traction. It’s a good idea to use tire chains and suitcase weights as suggested by the mower manufacturer. Snow Thrower If you get a lot of snow, you can upgrade to a front mounted snow thrower. Snow Cab For operation during the winter, consider installing a snow cab to protect you from the elements. Canopy (G.) During the summer, protect yourself from the sun with a canopy. Lawnmower manufacturers typically offer canopies designed for specific model riding mowers. Front Bumper To protect the riding mower from damage, consider a front bumper. They also can help minimize accidental damage to your landscaping, home, garage, and vehicles. Other Mower Attachments Other useful riding mower attachments include sprayers, blowers, sweepers, mulchers, lawn vacuums, and trail cutters/mowers. Ask a Lowe’s associate for suggestions on putting your riding mower to better use. ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING Riding mower attachments often require some assembly and/or mounting to operate. To ensure proper and safe operation: 01 Read the instruction manual for the riding mower and the selected attachment before installing. Some mowers make attachment mounting easier than others. In addition, some attachments require power from the mower through a belt or a power take-off (PTO) drive. Others are simply pushed or pulled by the riding mower. 02 For more how-to videos visit Lowes.com/Videos How To: CHOOSE RIDING MOWER ATTACHMENTS ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING (cont.) 02 Make sure you follow all safety guidelines during the assembly, mounting, and operation of the riding mower attachment(s).
