ABSTRACT:
A bracket assembly is adapted for attachment to the front end of a conventional garden or farm tractor which allows two spaced-apart leading reel-type mowers to be pulled ahead of the tractor wheels so that the grass will be cut before being compacted by the passage of the tractor wheels over it. The bracket comprises first and second elongated arms having cylindrical stub ends extending laterally inwardly at one end of the arms, the cylindrical stubs being arranged to telescopingly fit within a cylindrical pipe, which is adapted to be bolted or otherwise affixed to the front end of the tractor. One or more spacer bars extend between the two arms to maintain the arms in a common plane. Extending downwardly at the other end of each arm is a bar member having a suitable connection point at its lower end to which a reel-type mower assembly may be connected. The length of the elongated arms are such that the mower assembly will be pulled rather than pushed, but from a location which is forward of the tractor's front wheels. A trailing reel-type mower, connected to the tractor by linkage including two draw bars of enhanced transverse length, cuts grass in the gap between the leading mowers.
