Attachments

Need a mower that can do more than just cut grass? There are a number of different
attachments that add to the versatility of zero turn mowers.


Most attachments can be installed with the accompanying instructions, but it is generally recommended to have them installed by a professional power equipment dealer.

Bag or Mulch Clippings

The most popular attachment is a bagging system that allows you to collect grass clippings. There are many bagger options available for zero turn mowers including two- and three-bucket designs. Ariens and Gravely offer powered and non-powered baggers. Powered baggers have a belt-driven powered blower that forces grass into the bags. Commercial-quality baggers dump from seat using a lever to tilt the collector so you don’t have to get off machine to dump clippings.

All of these items attach to the rear of the machine on the frame. Some may require weight kits or mount kits to install. You can also add a mulching kit to the deck to mulch clippings back into the lawn instead of having the grass discharge from the side chute.

Rear Attachments

Zero turn mowers can accommodate a variety of rear attachments, including a dump cart, spreader, plug aerator, lawn dethatcher, roller or sprayer. Some zero turn mowers may require you to add a hitch for these attachments while others may come standard with a hitch.

Front Attachments

Some zero turn mowers can accommodate a front-mounted blade or even a snow blower or brush for clearing snow or debris. These attachments, in some cases, may require an adapter kit or weight kit. “Quick hitch” mechanisms may also be available for fast and easy changeover.
