Your lawn mower can do so much more than cut grass. With the right attachments, it becomes a versatile machine capable of handling many yard tasks. Adding the right accessories can save time, simplify chores, and deliver impressive results. Here are some must-have mower attachments to make the most of your Kubota lawn mower.
Grass Catchers
A grass catcher is a practical add-on for collecting clippings as you mow. It leaves your lawn neat and eliminates the need for post-mow cleanup. Grass catchers are great for maintaining clean edges along driveways, sidewalks, and garden areas.
TIP: Choose a grass catcher that matches your mower’s size. Large-capacity models work well for big yards, while compact options are better for smaller spaces.
Mulching Kits
Mulching kits turn grass clippings into finely chopped pieces that can be redistributed onto your lawn. This helps return nutrients to the soil and encourages healthy growth. Mulching also reduces yard waste and eliminates the need for bagging clippings.
Mulching kits include a blade designed to chop grass into tiny pieces and a plug to seal the discharge chute. This setup maximizes efficiency and keeps your lawn healthy.
Striping Kits
Striping kits allow you to create attractive patterns on your lawn, similar to those seen on sports fields or golf courses.
Aerators
Aerators improve lawn health by creating holes in the soil, helping with water and nutrient absorption. This is particularly helpful for compacted or poorly draining soil.
Aerators come in two main types. Spike aerators use solid tines to make holes, while plug aerators remove small soil plugs for deeper penetration. Each serves a slightly different purpose depending on your lawn’s condition.
Dump Carts
A dump cart attachment turns your mower into a workhorse for hauling materials like yard waste, mulch, or soil. It’s ideal for landscaping projects and general yard cleanup.
Spreader Attachments
Spreader attachments simplify lawn care by evenly distributing seeds, fertilizer, or other materials. They promote healthy grass growth, improve soil quality, and enhance your yard’s appearance. Adjustable settings let you control the spread rate, making them versatile for seeding, fertilizing, or applying herbicides. A spreader attachment saves time and effort while ensuring your lawn gets the nutrients it needs to thrive year-round.
Lawn Rollers
Lawn rollers flatten uneven terrain and press down newly seeded grass. They are also useful for firming up soil after aeration or sod installation.
Tow-Behind Sprayers
A tow-behind sprayer makes it easy to apply herbicides, pesticides, or liquid fertilizers. These sprayers ensure precise and even application.
Dethatchers
Dethatchers are lawn mower attachments designed to remove thatch – the layer of dead grass and debris that can accumulate on your lawn, promoting healthier grass growth by allowing nutrients and water to reach the soil better.
Lawn Sweepers
Lawn sweepers collect leaves, twigs, and other debris, keeping your yard tidy. This is a great alternative to raking, especially during the fall.
TIP: For the best results, use your lawn sweeper when the grass is dry to prevent clogging and ensure smooth operation.
Edger Attachments
Edger attachments create crisp and defined edges along driveways, walkways, and garden beds when attached to a lawn mower, improving the overall appearance of outdoor spaces with a neat and professional finish.
Tow-Behind Rakes
Tow-behind rakes are excellent for gathering leaves, grass clippings, or pine needles. These are particularly helpful for large yards where manual raking would be time-consuming.
TIP: Adjust the rake height to match the ground conditions and debris type for optimal performance and to avoid damaging your lawn.
