Mower wheel cleaning

    Hi,

    I always leave a trail of clipping on the tarmac when I finish cutting the grass with the ride on and I was thinking of rigging something like an upside brush or something I can drive over to clean before I leave the lawn! Has anyone done anything similar or have any tricks/tips!?

    Thanks!

    What about cutting an old sweeping brush (or 2) up and attaching it to the machine so they are always scrubbing the wheels?

    Yup - was thinking that. Not sure how that might affect things. Maybe if I can just engage it for a few seconds when done or something.

    ...its a right pain in the ass... I could never understand why most ride on tyre thread is designed the way it is...I used to have my other half drive forward while i held a scrub to back wheels...effective but amusing to onlookers!...you can get tyres to sort this issue now and worth every penny IMO.

    It's a bit odd, are you mulching the lawn ??
    If your bagging the clippings you shouldn't be getting any on the mower wheels.

    I wonder can anything like this be done. The wheels of my mulching mower have a thin strip of metal going across them just above the tyre. This stops the build up grass on the wheels when mulching
