FAQ

Can I add a bagger to my lawn mower?

Most lawn mower models come with bag attachments to catch grass clippings. Some older or basic models only mulch the debris or discharge it out the side. If you want to add a bag to your lawn mower, research your specific model to ensure compatibility and determine the appropriate size for a proper fit.

Do riding mowers have attachment options?

Yes, riding mowers can accommodate various attachments. While some attachments fit only specific models, many feature a universal fit hitch that works with various mowers.

What does a mulcher attachment do on a lawn mower?

A mulcher attachment processes grass clippings by cutting them into smaller particles, allowing them to break down more quickly and return nutrients to the soil.
