Lawn Tractors-Useful Information

By Danny Forge

The ordinary lawn tractor has many sophisticated parts to make it work. When all the parts work together, the lawn tractor is able to mow the yard. Due to the standard use of the lawn tractor, there are parts that wear out and will need replaced.

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.

Another part is the rakes that move along with the dethatchers. The purpose of the rakes is to loosen the difficult thatches of grass making the grass easier to be moved by the dethatchers. Some lawn tractors do not use the rakes yet using the rakes makes the dethatching process easier. The rakes are detachable and replacing them is easy. They are available in different shapes but they all have prongs to separate the grass as they pass over the areas.

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, which are then attached to the lawn tractor. They offer the ability to dig holes anywhere in the yard. There are adjustments to the backhoes as accessories to gauge the depth of the holes dug. The accessories help with aligning the holes to the perfect depth and design required for the holes dug.

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. - 31813
