Top 5 Accessories for Your Lawn Mower
With the right accessories, you’ll unleash your lawn mower’s potential and get more work done with greater speed and efficiency! There are simple upgrades that can make your model easier to handle, perform better, and even more comfortable to use. We've rounded up our favorite upgrades below. (Note: not all of these accessories can be used on walk-behind mowers, but all tend to be compatible with zero-turn mowers.)

1. A Brush Guard
Each time you use your lawn mower, you run the risk of hitting an obstacle. For example, you could run over a branch that ends up sliding through the gate and causing expensive damage. You could pay for repairs or you could invest in a brush guard or bumper, which provides great protection for the front of your mower. This upgrade is especially useful on models that are built with radiators behind the front grill.
2. A Mulching Kit
When you cut your grass with your mower, you end up with a pile of clippings. These clippings may seem like they will need to be discarded, but you can actually take advantage of this organic material and put it to good use—promoting the health of your lawn!
When you attach a mulching kit to your mower, these clippings get recycled back into your yard. This saves you time since you won't need to dispose of the clippings and it also recycles nutrients back into your yard, helping to promote healthy grass. Standard mulching kits will include a specifically designed blade and a plug that blocks the hole that clippings usually go when they enter the collection system.

3. A Lawn Mower Canopy
A lawn mower canopy makes your yard maintenance projects much more comfortable. It helps block out the unrelenting sun rays, keeping you cooler as you tend to your yard. The larger your property, the longer the mowing process takes and the more you'll benefit from improving rider comfort. Plus, this canopy is easy to install and budget-friendly!
4. Lights
Maybe you want to trim your grass in the early morning or late evening. This time of day may be more convenient for you, but it's tough to steer a lawn mower when there's a lack of natural light. Adding lights to your lawn mower will allow you to tend to your yard when it's best for your schedule, not whenever the sun is up. Many mowers, including walk-behind mowers, can even be upgraded with LED lights. These lights are able to burn brighter, use less power, and even enjoy a longer lifespan.
5. A Utility Cart
Your zero-turn mower is a great resource for cruising around your property. Make it an even better resource with a utility cart. Many zero-turn mowers can tow a trailer or cart, which allows you to transport a range of cargo. Bring tools to the site of a landscaping project, haul debris to your dump pile, and so on. There are many ways your zero-turn mower and utility cart can make your life easier.
