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.
