ABSTRACT:
A rotary lawn mower having a trimming attachment for trimming around fence posts and the like is provided. The trimming attachment assembly includes an auxiliary trimming blade mounted in a housing and attached to a swing arm assembly mounted on the primary mower housing. In the forward position, the trimming attachment extends outwardly from, but slightly overlaps, the mowed path of the primary mower. The trimming blade preferably is driven by the primary mower motor. As a fence post or the like adjacent the primary mower is encountered by the trimming attachment assembly, the trimming attachment assembly is pushed rearwardly by the obstruction and swings into the mowed path of the primary mower, during which process the grass near the fence post is cut. As the fence post or other object is passed, an actuator assembly forces the trimming assembly back into its original forward auxiliary cutting position.
