How Much Can a Lawn Mower Tow. Lawn mower pull behind

How Much Can a Lawn Mower Tow?

Towing capacity can be difficult to calculate if you’re looking to be exact. Not only are there a number of factors like your engine specs, transmission specs, and trailer specs, but also the terrain you’re towing on. Cub Cadet’s support team summed it up pretty well:

This is a more complicated issue than it might appear, because “towing capacity” is more of a sales specification than a technical specification. If you picture yourself pushing a 300 lb. wheelbarrow full of dirt, you may think that your “pushing capacity” was at least 300 lbs, but I doubt you would be able to push 300 pounds if it were on a flat sled with no wheels on rough ground. That is a simple analogy explaining why we don’t use towing capacity as a technical specification. Cub Cadet Support Team

That being said, let’s dive into some of the towing capacity determining factors to give you a better idea of what your mower can pull in your specific application.

Manufacturers Recommendation

The first thing I recommend doing is opening up your owner’s manual and flipping to the page that talks about towing. The owner’s manual for your machine should generally be the first place you check as it will be advice specifically tailored to your machines make and model. Each tractor and trailer are different. For example, some mowers will recommend not towing anything at all with them. Other more heavy-duty or commercial options will tow just about anything you throw at them. That being said, let’s look into some of the more general factors that relate to all mower setups.

Terrain

Hills/Inclines – Towing up a hill will effectively increase the load on your tractor and ultimately lead to it being able to tow less than the max you would be able to on level ground. Try to avoid inclines with a slope greater than 10% all together to help avoid damaging your mower. Most owner manuals should contain a slope guide that can be referred to for your specific model of tractor.
Downhill/Declines – Towing downhill will effectively lessen the pulling required for the load, yes, but it can get dangerous if you don’t have the appropriate braking power and give yourself enough distance to come to a complete stop when needed. Always take extra levels of caution when towing downhill.
Wet/muddy – The ground being wet and muddy while towing can cause you to lose traction while towing. Towing through mud (and the resistance on your wheels that comes with it) can effectively decreasing your towing capacity as well.
Rugged/Uneven – Towing on rugged and uneven terrain will mostly have an impact on the quality and smoothness of the ride. But at the same time, your tractor having to pull the load over and through obstacles on uneven terrain can lead to stress on your mower and result in you ultimately being able to tow less.

Horsepower or Torque?

There is definitely a debate for what is more important when towing – horsepower or torque? At the end of the day, both are important when towing with a lawn mower (and trucks!) but they both have separate purposes.

In this case, torque is more important. When searching for riding lawn mowers to use for towing applications, make sure to go for one with a higher torque rating when possible.

Drivetrain

Transmissions play a large role when it comes to pulling with a tractor. You will want to make sure when towing larger loads (350 lbs) you will not want to depress the forward travel pedal no more than halfway to avoid transmission damage. Always run a tractor at full throttle when PTO is engaged and you are towing loads.

Braking Ability

Classic farmer logic is “if you can get it moving, you’re fine”. While I appreciate the commitment to getting the job done, that’s only half of what the saying should be. Making sure you can brake and come to a complete stop when necessary (ESPECIALLY when towing downhill) is extremely important.

Residential lawn and garden tractors most commonly have a transaxle disc-brake stem designed for only the weight of the tractor on slight grades. Add in a heavy load and a downward slope, you could be in trouble. Make sure your brakes are up to par and test accordingly before giving them a heavy workload.

Towing Safety

Safety should always be the top priority when operating equipment and towing with your lawn mower is no different. Here are 10 of the most important aspects to look out for to make sure you are towing with a tractor safely.

Stopping – Yes, we just covered braking ability, but it’s so important I’m kicking this list off with it. Your stopping distance will be increased with the weight of and speed of what you’re towing. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to stop.
Neutral – Be very cautious not to put your tractor in neutral when on a decline. And try to not coast at all when towing.
Turning Sharply – Turning can be very different when towing a heavy load. Make sure you keep your head on a swivel and are paying attention when turning on adverse terrain.
Do not allow children (or other people) on or in your equipment when operating.
Hitches and accessories – Make sure you are only using hitches that are approved for use with your specific tractor. It is not recommended you attach towing equipment anywhere except for the approved hitching point.
Manufacturers Recommendations – Always make sure to read your owners manual and follow any specific manufacturers safety recommendations for your specific machine.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, you should always be referring to your machine’s owners manual for specific recommendations when it comes to towing. Each lawn mower can be different and unique in their own ways. Nobody knows them better than the people who built them.

UTV and ATV Mower Guide.

A UTV or ATV mower can inject some fun into a chore that’s more closely associated with drudgery. Whether you need to knock down a field full of waist high weeds or trim a manicured lawn, doing it with your favorite four wheeler will have you looking forward to it.

This guide will hopefully give you some info about the different types and styles of mowers for ATVs and UTVs. Let’s take a look.

Rough Cut Mowers

Rough cut mowers are for taller grass, brush, stalks, etc. Cosmetics aren’t as important as the ability to knock the offending material down. Mowers for rough cutting tend to be heavier duty and have more power. There are several types so let’s look at more details.

Flail

Tow behind flail mower in action.

Flail mowers are designed to handle thicker foliage and rougher terrain. They have multiple cutting blades mounted on a horizontal bar or roller. Centrifugal force from the rotating roller causes the blades to sling out and provide the cutting action.

This design allows for closer cutting to the ground with less risk of damage to the blades. Each individual blade has it’s own pivot so that it can “kick back” if it strikes the ground or other obstacle.

Different style blades can be fitted for different cutting needs. Anything from heavier blades for rougher or thicker foliage, to blades that can give a near finish mower type cut.

Front Mount. Flail type ATV mowers can be front mounted for a pusher style. Many have options to connect to a front winch so they can be raised when needed.

Several front mounted flail mowers have an option to offset the mower so it sits outside the track width of the ATV. This allows for closer edge trimming but it can make the four wheeler harder to steer.

Other pros for the front mount is being able to see what you’ll be cutting. You can also get a cleaner cut since the wheels of the ATV or UTV won’t mash the grass or weeds down before being cut like they would with a pull behind style mower.

Cons for the front mount flail mowers are that they usually are narrower for better handling. Wider front mount mowers tend to adversely affect turning of the ATV.

Pull Behind Mount. The simplest and most popular way to use a flail mower. Most can be pulled directly behind the UTV or ATV with options to offset the mower to either side.

Pull behinds can be wider without causing handling problems. They are favored for larger foliage or vegetation that can leave larger and stiffer stalks. Those stalks can cause tire punctures if you run over them after cutting as would happen with a front mount mower.

Cutting blades on the flail type mower.

Shredder

The shredder style ATV mowers are based on the flail mower. They’re intended to have more of a mulching action. Many come with more and different style blades.

An extra stationary cutting bar can be added for more complete cutting. Most have some sort of flaps added to the deck to keep the cut material in the mower longer to promote more shredding action.

Like the flail mowers, they come in front and pull behind styles. The pull behind is by far the most popular for the shredder style.

Rotary Blade

Rough cut rotary mower at work.

The rotary style mowers are the more conventional type with deck mounted blades or blade that are mounted horizontally and rotate parallel to the ground.

Those designed for rough cutting tend to have heaver duty parts starting with the deck thickness, and continuing to the spindles that hold the blades, and the blades themselves.

Engines are usually more powerful to handle the increased load of cutting thicker and coarser material.

Trimmer

Rear mounted trimmer mower.

Trimmer mowers work on the same principle as lawn trimmers. Everything is just much heavier duty for the rough trimming they are expected to do.

Instead of a single piece of cutting line, the ATV trimmer mowers use larger cutting line with individual pieces that are inserted into the head of the trimmer.

Most models are pull behind style with an offset to one side. They usually have a swinging action that allows them to contact objects like trees or posts and “kick back” to keep the trimmer close to the object.

Finish Mowers. Lawn Mowers

Rotary Blade

Rotary finish mower with deck height adjustable anti-scalping caster wheels.

The rotary blade finish mower, or ATV lawn mower, is designed for more accurate cutting than the rough cut mower. The main difference are much finer adjustment methods to accurately maintain grass cutting heights.

Almost all finish ATV mowers are deck style pull behind with some sort of anti-scalping feature and deck height adjusters.

Reel

Reel type ATV mowers mounted in a gang style.

Reel mowers are based on the classic style manual mower. They use several horizontal curved blades mounted directly to the wheels to provide the rotating cutting action.

The reel mower is intended for fine grass trimming to produce a manicured look. They’re the only type of mower that doesn’t need an onboard engine.

Since reel mowers tend to be smaller, most rigs for ATVs will use several mowers gang mounted together for more coverage.

Mounting Types for ATV Mowers

Front Mount

Flail type mower shown with an offset front mount.

Though not as popular as the pull behind models, front mount or pusher style mowers are offered by several manufacturers. Most have their own support frame that mounts to the ATV frame. The mower is then mounted to that support frame.

Flail style mowers are the most commonly seen front mount type. There are front mount deck type mowers, but their larger size has a few more disadvantages.

Better visibility for what the mower will be cutting.
Can be attached to a winch so the mower can be lifted to avoid obstacles, for transport to another work area, and to make maneuvering easier.
When used with a flail mower, much less overall length than pull behind styles.
Easier to transport ATV with mower mounted in place.
Added weight of the support frame.
Adverse effect on steering and handling in some situations.
Limits the size of the mower that can be used.
Mower can’t be offset to the side as far as tow behind.

Pull Behind

Pull behind mower with drawbar adjusted for side offset.

The pull behind style UTV and ATV mowers are basically what the name says. Most have a trailer type drawbar connected to the mower and a hitch that connects to the four wheeler.

Wider range of sizes than front mount. Common widths available from 40 to 66 inch wide decks.
left or right offset range by adjusting drawbar.
No extra support frame necessary.
Can perform same functions as zero turn mowers.
Quicker to attach and detach than other types of mowers.
Can mow more uneven terrain with addition of rotating hitch.
Greater overall length can make maneuvering in tight spaces more difficult.
Most models can’t be lifted, making it harder to transport or get around obstacles.
Control cables and wiring are longer and usually have to be mounted to rear of ATV or UTV.

Belly or Center Mount

Belly mount ATV mowers are the most compact systems.

The more traditional lawn tractor style belly mount is relatively rare for ATVs. Unlike the flail or deck type mowers that have their engines mounted directly on the mower, the belly mount requires a rear engine mount.

A separate support frame mounts the engine at the rear of the ATV and extends to the center of the machine to provide a mount for the mower deck.

Operates much like a conventional lawn tractor mower.
Most compact of all systems for ATV mowers.
Easier to transport with mower mounted in place.
Weight of engine, mower, and mounting frame are added directly to the ATV.
Mower size limited by wheel base of ATV.
Can’t be offset to the side.
Limited space mower can be lifted.
complex mounting system.
Harder to access for maintenance.

Options for UTV and ATV Mowers

Deck size. The deck width for most ATV mowers ranges from 40 to 66 inches. Width will vary with the number of blades and power of the engine.

Number of blades. The number of blades used usually depends on the width of the deck. Smaller deck widths many only use a single blade while the wider decks use up to 3 blades in either an offset or inline configuration.

Height adjustment. We’re talking about mowing deck height here. Adjustment options include setting the height at the caster wheels, a manual screw jack that can set the deck height, and some larger models have an optional electrically operated linear actuator.

Offset blade configuration with heavy duty spindles and vertical deck supports.

Engine size. Engine size and power ratings normally range from smaller engines with around 19hp to the larger models with up to about 27hp. Finish mowers may use slightly less powerful engines since they generally cut lighter material.

Pull start. Traditional pull cord style starter. Comes standard on most of the smaller engines.

Electric start. Needed on larger engines which can be difficult to start manually. You may also just want an electric start for the extra convenience.

Drive engagement. There are three main types of drive engagement used on most UTV and ATV mowers. The type used depends somewhat on the size of the mower, engine power, and type of use.

Manual lever. Standard on most smaller mowers. Operates by moving a lever that engages an idler pulley with the drive belt. Similar to the way most lawn tractors operate.

Manual lever drive engagement moves an idler pulley against the drive belt which turns the blade shaft on a flail mower.

Anti-scalping wheels or roller. Prevents deck from contacting ground and digging in or allowing blades to hit the ground.
Rotating hitch. Allows the mower to move more freely over uneven terrain. Useful for mowing slopes by allowing mower to operate at steeper angles.
Flotation wheels. Deck wheels added to provide more support for deck so it can “float” over uneven ground without digging in.
