Riding Mower Accessories
Lawn care with a riding mower often feels like cheating on account of how easy and fast it is, but there’s even more time saving to be done with riding mower accessories! From mulching and clipping to utility carts, your riding mower is as adaptable as they come when you consider the variety of implements and accessories you can hook up to it. At Harold Implement Co., our specialization is right in the name, and we want to share that knowledge with our customers in the form of this short guide to some common mower accessories. Read on for more information or head into our Corning, Arkansas location, near Paragould, Jonesboro, and Pocahontas. We also proudly serve our neighbors in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.
Mulching Kit
For those with more than just a small square of grass to manage, a mulching kit can be a great boon in terms of clipping waste management. Clippings make up a significant portion of total waste production, so do your part by hooking up a mulching kit to your riding mower. This will recycle clippings back into the turf, saving you time and effort while also helping out your lawn! A mulching kit generally consists of a specially designed blade and a plug which blocks the hole where clippings would normally get picked up into the collection system. Keep your yard happy and healthy while saving time as well!
Material Collector
Mulching up your clippings is great for a healthy lawn, but they aren’t so great for anyone looking to lounge or play on the grass. This is where material collection comes in. A collection kit fits on the back of your mower and adds a chute and hopper that feed clippings into storage containers. Bagging your clippings instead of mulching is really more of an aesthetic choice rather than a practical one, but it will make your lawn cleaner and more fun to be on.
Utility Cart
While riding mowers aren’t the first thing we consider when thinking about towing, most are fully capable of hitching a trailer or cart for a wide array of uses. Especially for those with extensive landscaping projects, a towable cart can help you carry additional tools from job to job. The extra cargo space can also be used to unload or haul grass clippings, fallen leaves, pulled-up brush, or anything else you need to transport while on your mower.
Brush Guard
A well built riding mower can be a significant investment, so it pays to protect your riding mower from unintended harm. A brush guard or bumper keeps branches and debris from constantly dinging the front of your mower, which can be particularly helpful for mowers with radiators behind their front grill. A stray branch can slide through the grate and do real damage to the mower’s guts. So avoid that problem entirely with a brush guard!
Mower Canopy
Nothing quite beats a beautiful lawn on a sunny summer day, unless you’re the one riding the mower under that sun. Even for smaller lawns, the heat can be hard to beat, so go with a sun shade or canopy to keep you cool. They’re inexpensive, easy to install, and will help keep you from overheating while tending to your lawn.
