ABSTRACT:
A fully-adjustable lightweight trimmer attachment assembly (10) broadly comprises a wheel (14), a rod (16) extending from the wheel (14), and a mounting mechanism (18) for rotationally mounting the rod (16) to a trimmer (12). The rod (16) preferably includes an axle section (16a) through the wheel (14), a trailing section (16b) perpendicular to the axle section (16a), a centering section (16c) parallel to the axle section (16a), and a vertical section (16d) aligned at ninety degrees to the centering section (16c) and at sixty degrees to the trailing section (16b). With the vertical section (16d) vertical, the trailing section (16b) forces the wheel (14) to follow the vertical section (16d), providing a castering effect. The mounting mechanism (18) includes a rod mount (30) rotationally secured to the vertical section (16d) and a shaft mount (32) operable to be secured to the trimmer (12) and rotate about the rod mount (30).
