Jungle Jim's Mower Trimmer Rack – Universal Fit for Walk-Behind, Stand-On, and ZTR Mowers – Secures Trimmer for Transport – Lock-Ready for Theft Deterrence

What It Is

A universal steel rack that mounts onto your mower to securely carry a gas or battery-powered string trimmer during transport. Designed for walk-behind, stand-on, and zero-turn mowers, it keeps the trimmer off the ground and within reach, with a lock-ready bracket for theft deterrence.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check these:

• Deck Size: Fits mower decks from 36" to 72". Measure your deck’s rear or side mounting area—the rack needs at least 6" of flat, unobstructed surface for the clamp.
• Mounting Style: Uses adjustable U-bolts and brackets. Works on most mower frames with a tubular or flat steel bar (1–2" diameter). Avoid if your mower has a plastic deck or curved frame rails.
• Model-Specific: Not OEM; designed for aftermarket use. Test fit on brands like Toro, Exmark, Gravely, and John Deere, but always verify clearance for your seat, ROPS, or fuel cap.
• Trimmer Size: Holds trimmer shafts up to 1.5" diameter. Doesn’t include a cutting head guard—check that the head won’t hit the deck or tire.

Key Things to Know

• Installation Difficulty: Moderate. Requires basic tools (wrenches, socket set) and about 30–45 minutes. No drilling needed, but you may need to reposition clamps for your mower’s geometry.
• Stability: Steel construction is sturdy, but some users report vibration on rough terrain. Tighten bolts periodically and use rubber padding (not included) to prevent scratches.
• Lock-Ready Design: Includes a built-in loop for a padlock (up to 3/8" shackle). Lock not included—buy one separately for theft protection.
• Common Gotcha: The rack can interfere with the mower’s discharge chute or bagger mount on zero-turn models. Temporarily remove the chute or measure clearance before final bolt-down.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you frequently transport a trimmer with your mower and want a simple, lockable solution for under $100. It’s best for commercial landscapers or homeowners with steel-frame mowers who don’t mind a bit of DIY fitment. Skip it if your mower has a plastic deck, tight clearance around the seat, or if you need a quick-release mount.
