Lawn Tractors-Helpful Information

By Danny Forge

The ordinary lawn tractor has many sophisticated parts to make it work. When all the parts work together, the lawn tractor is able to mow the yard. Due to the standard use of the lawn tractor, there are parts that wear out and will need replaced.

Some people know the parts well as others are not so familiar with the parts. In either case, it is important to know about the parts and the accessories used on the lawn tractor. Here are several parts and accessories commonly used on the lawn tractors.

One of the parts a person needs to know included the dethatchers. These are the parts that have the blade arrangements removing the thatches of grass. They are designed to row over the lawn.

As they roll, the blades keep cutting the grass in the yard. There are different types of blades used for this process allowing for other selections of the blades based on individual preference. The dethatchers can be detached from some models so they can be used to push mow the grass independently of the lawn tractor.

Rakes are part of the lawn tractors that work with the dethatchers. They perform the task of loosening the difficult thatches of grass so the dethatcher easily mows the grass. Many lawn tractors do not have rakes, yet they make the mowing of the yard easier. The rakes are detachable and simple to replace. The rakes are available in different shapes with the standard design containing prongs that separates the grass.

Tillers are great attachments for the lawn tractor especially for the gardener. The tiller is used to loosen the hard surface of the soil creating an easier soil for planting the seeds and other garden items. The tiller aerates the ground and allows the richer organic layer of soil underneath moved to the surface creating a better soil for the plants of the garden. The tillers are available as attachable units to the tractor or as separate units.

Backhoes are similar to hoes yet they attach to the lawn tractor. They assist people digging holes in the yard making the job easier and faster. The backhoes offer the person to adjust the depth of the hole by either adding an attachment to the backhoe or by manually calculating the depth of the hole. Some backhoes have aligning features allowing the person to create the inclined hole to their desired measurements.

Several other lawn tractor parts are also commonly used such as buckets, bush hogs, drillers, and harrows. All of the parts are available at a hardware store or on the internet. Either place will provide the needed parts for the lawn tractor. - 30234
