Sizing up tow-behind attachments
Attachments turn a rider into a working tractor, and each one asks something of the machine in front. Check the tow rating before the price. The best attachment is the one your machine can pull comfortably when it is full. Write down your tractor's tow rating and hitch type before you shop, then compare each listing against them. If a listing does not name the hitch or weight, ask the seller before ordering, and keep a record of the answer.
- Hitch match
- The hitch style must fit the tractor's drawbar. Compare the pin size and the plate against the listing.
- Loaded weight
- A dump cart or roller gets heavy when full. Make sure your mower is rated to pull the combined weight.
- Working width
- Aerators, harrows and rollers state a working width. Wider ones need more power and a bigger turning space.
- Material
- Steel, poly and mesh differ in durability. Rust and cracking are listed concerns for outdoor storage.
- Sprayers and tanks
- Look at tank capacity and boom width. We review the equipment only and leave product choices to labels and your extension office.
