Peco ZT-3100 Z-Trimmer Zero Turn Mower String Trimmer Attachment

The Peco ZT-3100 Z-Trimmer Zero Turn Mower String Trimmer Attachment is an innovative lawn care solution engineered to maximize productivity by allowing users to trim and edge simultaneously while mowing. Designed to mount directly onto the deck of a riding or zero-turn mower, this professional-grade attachment eliminates the need for a secondary walk-behind trimmer on regularly maintained landscape areas. It operates seamlessly from the operator’s seat, letting users clean up fence lines, property borders, and building perimeters without ever stepping off the machine.

Constructed with a rugged yet lightweight design, the Z-Trimmer features a spring-loaded, mechanical breakaway mounting system. This design allows the trimmer arm to automatically swing backward out of harm’s way when encountering rigid obstacles like fence posts or trees, protecting both the attachment and the property from impact damage. For maximum versatility, it boasts a 140-degree pivoting trimmer head that shifts seamlessly from horizontal grass trimming to vertical edge cutting with a quick, tool-free adjustment.

Powering the attachment is a high-torque 12-volt DC electric motor equipped with a sealed end cap to keep out moisture, dust, and clipping debris. The unit runs directly off the mower’s integrated battery and charging system. When moving across properties or during standard mowing patterns where trimming isn’t required, the trimmer easily folds up into a secure, upright transport position where it safely locks into place without adding extra width to the mower deck. Safety enhancements include a high-visibility aviation-style toggle switch cover, a built-in safety kill switch, and a dynamic resettable circuit breaker that prevents any unwanted overdrawing of the vehicle’s battery.
