A trimmer assembly for a lawn mower is detachably mountable on a deck of the lawn mower by a housing or shroud that can be secured to the front edge of the deck. A mounting frame is pivotally attached to the housing. The mounting frame carries a trimmer head with a plurality of cutting elements secured thereto. The mounting frame and the trimmer head pivotally move between an operational and a non-operational position by a swivel arm secured to the mounting frame. A proximate end of the swivel arm engages a handle, which is secured to the housing. The handle has a limited rotation for pivotally moving the mounting frame. A stop plate mounted below the handle limits the pivotal movement of the handle in relation to the housing. The trimmer head may be powered by a belt connected to a drive pulley of the lawn mower, by an electric motor, a hydraulic motor or other suitable power source. |
