ABSTRACT:
An apparatus that can be readily converted from a lawnmower to a trimmer including a housing, an engine mounted thereon, a plurality of wheels rotatably mounted to the housing, a handle secured to the housing and a control linkage system. The housing includes a main body portion and an adjustable segment. The adjustable segment is pivotally connected to the main body of the housing. The adjustable segment is further spring biased in a first position wherein the apparatus is in the traditional lawnmower mode. The control linkage system is operably associated with the adjustable segment so that upon depression of a control lever the adjustable segment pivots upwardly and exposes a portion of the blade. The exposed portion of the blade extends several inches outwardly from the outermost portion of the apparatus. Therefore, the apparatus is able to effectively trim grass from around obstacles such as trees, fences, and posts. An operator need only release the control lever to resume the normal lawnmower cutting operation.
