ABSTRACT:
A riding attachment is adapted to be connected to a self-propelled lawn mower for carrying a standing rider/operator behind the mower during operation of the mower. This riding attachment includes a mounting assembly, a tow bar assembly, and a riding assembly. One end of the tow bar assembly is pivotably connected to the mounting assembly to allow for rotation of the tow bar assembly about a first axis parallel to a plane of the mower and transverse to the direction of movement of the mower. The riding assembly is pivotally connected to the second end of the tow bar to allow the riding assembly to pivot about a second axis parallel to the plane of said mower and in the direction of movement of said mower. The riding attachment further includes a pivot limiting element that limits the pivoting of the riding assembly out of the plane of the mower to a predetermined limit angle. This riding attachment thus safely carries the operator behind the mower over uneven terrain, preventing dislodgement of the operator or overturning of the riding assembly on which the operator stands.
