Tow Bar Gives Cadet A 6-Ft. Cut FARM HOME Lawn Mowers (31h,38) 28-4-11 A simple tow bar makes mowing with three mowers at once a snap for Kenneth Ramey. It allows him to mow with his Cub Cadet and its 41-in. belly mower while towing 19 and 21-in. push mowers behind for a total swath of nearly 6 ft.
"If I get into a tight area, all I do is unsnap the push mowers and either use one of them or the Cub," explains Ramey of Ferrelview, Missouri.
To make his tow bar, he simply bolted a length of 1 1/4-in. angle iron to his Cub Cadet drawbar. The angle iron was pre-drilled, giving Ramey lots of holes to work with. He then drilled a hole in the front of each of the push mowers and installed eyebolts. Snaps attached to both ends of a short length of chain allow Ramey to connect the mowers to the tow bar. The chain lets the mowers flex as they follow the Cub and also make it easy to adjust the mower width as needed.
