1. Why Attachments Matter
With the right attachments, a good mower or garden tractor turns into a multi-season tool. That’s especially handy when you’ve got 1 or more acres to maintain.
2. Must-Have Attachments for Large Properties
- Tow-behind lawn sweepers: great for grass clippings, leaves, and pine needles
- Carts and trailers: move mulch, firewood, or tools
- Dethatchers and aerators: keep lawns healthier without hiring it out
- Sprayers and spreaders: cover big ground fast with fertilizer or herbicide
3. Specialty Tools That Make Life Easier
- Generators: Great for winter power outages
- Grading scrapers: great for gravel driveways
- Snow blades/blowers: turn your tractor into a winter machine
4. What Attachments will fit?
Most lawn tractors can handle basic tow-behind tools.
For heavier stuff—like grading or snow—you’ll need a garden tractor or compact tractor with more weight and a stronger hitch or PTO.
5. Final Tips for Getting the Right Setup
- Check your owner’s manual for tow capacity
- Go with universal-fit tools when possible
- Don’t overload a lightweight lawn tractor with commercial gear
- Contact your dealer for the best help getting the right attachments for your tractor
