Lawn Tractors-What You Should Know

By Danny Forge

Even the most ordinary looking lawn tractor has many advanced accessories. They work in tandem with the lawn tractor when mowing the yard. There are the chances the lawn tractor accessories will require replacement since they are used frequently. M

any people replace the accessories by themselves yet it is still great to have knowledge of the accessories should they need to be replaced in the future.

Dethatchers are the part of the lawn tractor included in the blade arrangement for moving the thatches of grass from the yard. They are rolling parts.

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 a wonderful attachment used with the lawn tractor by many gardeners. They loosen the hardened ground and aerate the soils by rotating the richer bottom soil to the top surface of the ground. This process of tilling the ground makes the garden easier to plant seeds and other garden plants. The tillers are attachable to the lawn tractor or available as independent models.

Backhoes are similar to hoes but they attach to the lawn tractor. The backhoe will help dig holes anywhere in the yard. They are adjustments on the backhoe to dig the hole to a specific depth such as a depth gauge added as an option to the backhoe. Some backhoes have advanced aligning features so the holes are prepared to the 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
