OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

20” Front Roller
Optional Accessories

The FR-20 front roller replaces the standard caster wheels and proivdes a few advantages. First, this adds additional weight to the front of the mower for more stable tracking which is helpful for rougher yards. It also minimizes uneven cut from low spots and allows the mower to hangle over the lawn edges and flower beds for extra close cuts. It’s hard plated steel and has large sealed ball bearing for long life durablity

Back-Lapping Kits

Back-Lapping helps improve the cutting action by removing nicks and high spots from the surfaces to create a more consistent contact between the blade and bed knife for an effective scissor cut.
