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

For those people how are familiar with the lawn tractor, repairing it themselves is easy. Yet even with this knowledge, there is the fact of needing to know about the different parts of the tractor.

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 moving cutting off the grass in the yard. Different types of blades are available and the different kind of blade purchased is at the preference of the individual. Some lawn tractors have detachable dethatchers that are used as a push mover separately.

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 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
