An inexpensive, easy to operate and requires little or no maintenance adjustable sidekick trimmer device ( 23 ) mounted on a tractor ( 24 ) or a like vehicle for trimming the edges of lawn is provided. The height of the trimmer ( 23 ) can be set to any deck of a tractor ( 24 ) having an adjustable mounting plate ( 25 ). The deck belt ( 14 ) can be changed without taking the whole system apart upon removal of upper bearing ( 6 ) located in the trimmer housing ( 9 ). Activation of the said device ( 23 ) is carried out by pulling a control cable ( 11 ), made of steel, suitably connected to that device ( 23 ). No grass is missed during the device-at work ensuring that trim work to be about a quarter of an inch shorter than that of the said deck blades resulting in a clean trim of grass. Pushing a control cable ( 11 ) "in" pulls the dual idler pulley ( 13 ) disengaging the belt ( 14 ) from the said trimmer device ( 23 ). The control cable ( 11 ) acting as a brake stops the belt ( 14 ) that runs the plurality of cutters ( 4 ) and trimmer head ( 2 ) when a clutch ( 10 ) including a spring ( 15 ) is disengaged allowing the drive pulley ( 8 ) to run freely inside the said belt ( 14 ).
