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

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.

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 make a great attachment for the lawn tractor for people that enjoy gardening. Tillers loosen the hardened soil so it is aerated making planting the garden easier. The tiller moves the lower layers of the rich soil to the surface creating a healthier richer top soil for the garden. Tiller are available in detachable models so be used separately from the lawn tractor or as attachments to the tractor.

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. - 31813
