Off-Road Vehicle-Towed Trimmer/Mower

The gasoline engine-powered Off-Road Vehicle-Towed Trimmer/Mower can be used with almost any pin-hitch-accommodating off-road vehicle. Model 7.25, designed primarily for ATVs, UTVs, and garden tractors, is designed to trim and knock-down-mow rough areas, including fence lines, trails, roadways, ditch banks, and tall-grass/weedy lots. Reaching up to 4 feet outside the towing vehicle’s wheelbase, it is designed to roll over rugged, rocky terrain. Model 6.25 pin-hitches behind riding mowers (even a zero-turn), allowing one to trim while mowing the lawn or to knock down tall grass and weeds anywhere the mower can go. It can be towed in-line behind the mower or at either of two offset angles that permits a reach up to 51 inches outside the mower’s centerline. Both models 7.25 and 6.25 feature spring-loaded tensioning so that the trimmer head will automatically deflect around obstacles.

Cost: $550 for M-6.25, $1,000 for M-7.25
