Lawn Tractors-Helpful Information

By Danny Forge

The ordinary lawn tractor is made up of many sophisticated parts. These parts together to mow the yard. Since these parts work when mowing the yard regularly, they tend to break or wear out, calling for replacement parts.

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.

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 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 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.

Other lawn tractor parts include buckets, bush hogs, drillers, and harrows. All of these added parts are available at most hardware stores and at stores on the internet adding the appeal to many owning the lawn tractor. - 31813
