Considering putting this on a lawn tractor but the mount would be flipped, nested into the "L" of the tractor mount, bolted to both surfaces. OK or?

I can't see why it wouldn't work ok, as long as it isn't severely overloaded.

As long as you have clearance and it is securely fixed it should work great. I would caution pushing the limits of weight fi you are using it outside the recommended parameters. I bolted mine on the bottom of my factory jeep receiver. I needed to do this to clear the swing arm on my bike rack, when opening the tail gate. It worked perfectly, but I only used it for my bike rack. I would not have even considered hauling a trailer down the road.

It shouldn't be a problem. I have two bolted together for extra extension, and the second guy is mounted upside down into the first guy... Works great. Use the allen socket bolts included, ditch the thumb screws though.

You will general be fine mounting in any direction but like any situation like this... you need to consider the load you are driving. If you a suspending the load, or supporting the load, on the motor shaft... then, in general, you will eventually run into problems... motor bearings will give out. If the load you are driving is independently supported then you will be fine.

It comes with a mounting bracket. As I said in the review, it fit my tractor, but I ended up making a modification to the bracket. The Tractor I bought from Lowes had a bolt where the bracket connected to the tractor and I either had to remove the bolt or grind away a piece of the bracket.

You would have to shim it, depends on how severe the angle is though too. I would suggest buying your own mounting hardware.

It should, how it mounts depends on what the back deck cover of your tractor looks like. I had to order another mounting bracket as I had an angled back plate as opposed to flat on my Husqvarna tractor and the kit only comes with one bracket. Its pretty universal as far as the rest goes - works great once I got the right mount for it.

Either way works. Due to the space that was left from a previous mount I have it mounted down.

It may seem like it is locked in place, but once mounted it will swivel quite well......it needs to be broken in so to say....mine was tight but now it is fine....well worth the price. If this is not the case and yours is defective, just return it....but I think you will be fine once you have it installed and begin using it. GC

I'm right handed so I have mine on the right side, there's no wrong side to mount this thing. Other than that, you'll need an extra gear to reverse it and this product doesn't come with one, so other than flipping it to the other side, no you won't be able to.

Hi mike. I installed on the front of my zero turn mower. I had to "rig" a mounting bracket and secure with rachet straps. There's no way to change controls on Unit for front discharge so material hits front of mower. If mounted on rear it would be perfect. The spreader itself is a nice unit.

No reason why you couldn't mount it that way if there's room. The only difficulty would be if the pole clamp loosens and the swing assembly plus monitor slides down the pole and falls off.

As long as you have a place for the mounting bracket the holder would work well on a lawnmower.

I wouldn't think so. Maybe if you mounted it upside down :-), but I wouldn't recommend it.

We installed one on a Honda 4x4 ATV 500cc, using the Swisher Universal mount and it raises almost over the line of the front weel... nearly 16".... It wont turn your ATV in a miny tractor but it sure makes a whole lot easier to carry dirt to fill in in roads, remove manure from a corral, and stuf like that.

Yes, if your tractor has a pull hitch on the back, and is powerful enough to pull it. The hitch on the lawn sweep is actually made to hook to different height tractor hitches depending on which side you face up. Make sure to measure you tractor hitch before assembling the sweep hitch.

This will work with and Garden or Lawn tractor that has a liftable sleeve hitch. If you have the typical fixed trailer pin hitch then it won't work for you.
