Add-On Rollers For Mower Decks

Add-On Rollers For Mower Decks FARM HOME Lawn Mowers (31h,38) 26-5-3 If the tree trunks around your farmstead have knicks and scrapes from mower decks that get too close, you'll like this idea. "Wheel-A-Round" add-on rollers for decks allow you to get close without doing damage. James Schutz showed his invention off for the first time at the Minnesota Inventor's Congress last summer. The device is fitted with 7 roller-blade type heavy-duty plastic rollers that gently walk the deck around trees, buildings, and other obstacles to prevent damage. The unit attaches with two bolts and can be fitted to virtually any deck. Installs on the side of the deck opposite the discharge chute. "I got the idea because I have a small orchard and was wrecking too many trees with my mower. Every time I nicked a tree I had to get off the mower and tape over the nick so that the tree could heal," says Schutz.
