Pair Of Push Mowers Added To Sides Of Riding Mower

Pair Of Push Mowers Added To Sides Of Riding Mower MOWERS Mowers (31H) 24-5-34 Adding a pair of push mowers to the sides of a riding mower helps cover a lot more ground, saves wear and tear on the main mower, and works as well as bigger commercial mowers at a much lower cost. Here's how I did it. I welded an eye to the front corner of each push mower deck and used a piece of strap metal to run from the back of the main deck. In order to be able to back up, I ran a metal rod from the back of the mower to the back outside corner of each push mower deck. The rods pin in place with a couple pins. The unexpected beauty of the arrangement is that the little mowers flex up and down. You can buy used push mowers for $50 apiece and toss them when they wear out. They unhook in seconds and you can still use them as push mowers. If you take the push mower handles off, they'll mow under trees and fences. Everyone should take a look at this idea as an inexpensive way to add up to 3 ft. of cutting width to any riding mower. (Roger Kuntz, 5251 County Rd. X, Grainfield, Kan. 67737)
