Weed Eater Strap
Features:
- Reduces trimmer weight by up to 75%
- Compatible with any weed eater
- Padded shoulder pad for maximum comfort
- MSRP: $21.99
Trimming grass with a weed eater is tough work. Trimmers are great for precise cutting in tight spaces, but their long, unwieldy shape can cause sore back and shoulder muscles (even after short-term use). The Zero Gravity Trimmer Strap is designed to help.
It installs by utilizing a clamp and carabiner system, making it compatible with electrical and gas weed eaters from Stihl, Echo, DeWalt, Ego, Husqvarna, Milwaukee, and several other popular brands.
Its bungee system and shoulder strap help to distribute weight evenly across your back and shoulders, making your trimmer feel up to 75% lighter. The shoulder strap is also padded to maximize comfort and minimize muscle fatigue.

Hitch Plate
Features:
- For use with riding mowers, lawn tractors, ATVs, UTVs, and more
- Three towing methods in one hitch
- 1-⅞” tow ball included
- MSRP: $27.49
If you have a riding mower or lawn tractor, tow-behind attachments are a huge help. Aerators, fertilizers, sweepers, dump carts — they all help to get jobs done much more quickly. And the Hitchin’ Post+ 3-Way Hitch Plate offers a way to tow them.
It’s cleverly designed to allow you to tow utilizing three different methods:
- A tow ball
- Hitch pins
- Ropes or chains
This means that whatever towing style your mower attachment utilizes, the Hitchin’ Post+ will be able to accommodate it. It even comes with a 1-⅞” tow ball for ball hitch attachments.
The Hitchin’ Post+ helps to transform your lawn tractor or riding mower into a do-it-all yard work machine. Just remember that it’s for offroad use only and should not be used to tow cars, trucks, or recreational vehicles.

Zero-Turn Mower Hitch
Features:
- Three towing methods in one hitch
- Specifically designed for zero-turn mowers
- Solid steel construction
- MSRP: $31.99
So, what if you have a zero-turn mower instead of a lawn tractor? In that case, the Hitchin’ Post+ won’t work for you because of how zero-turn mower hitches are designed. But Good Vibrations can still help in the form of the Z-Hitch Zero-Turn Hitch Plate.
Like this Hitchin’ Post+, the Z-Hitch provides three distinct towing methods in one hitch plate: a tow ball, hitch pins, and two slots for chains or ropes (it does not, however, come with a tow ball). It can also accommodate similar attachments: sweepers, dump carts, aerators, and more.
The Z-Hitch is made from solid steel and features a black powder coat finish. The powder coating helps to resist corrosion and deterioration due to weather, while the solid steel construction helps to tow heavy loads across rugged terrain.
Like the Hitchin’ Post+, this hitch is designed for offroad use only.

Steering Wheel Knob
Features:
- Easy to install
- Makes one-handed driving easy
- Installation hardware and tools are included
- MSRP: $19.99
When mowing on a riding mower, tight, clean turns are essential for keeping rows of cut grass nice and tidy. Unfortunately, turning your steering wheel hand-over-hand can make this difficult. But it can be made much easier with the Easy Rider Tight-Turn Steering Knob.
This knob’s ergonomic shape and inlaid rubber make it simple to grip and use. It’s easy to install, too — it comes with all the applicable hardware to attach it to your steering wheel, and it even comes with an Allen wrench to tighten everything up.
It also includes a plastic spacer to help it fit onto larger steering wheels. No matter what kind of riding mower or lawn tractor you own, the Easy Rider offers a near-universal fit, allowing for quick, one-handed turning to make mowing a breeze.

Lawn Mower Pull Cord
Features:
- Padded for extra comfort and grip
- 88” rope included
- Allows for a full-hand grip when starting motor
- MSRP: $12.99
Is your lawn mower pull cord stuck? Do you not like the grip and feel of your mower’s stock T-handle? The Start Me Up Full-Grip Starter Handle is an excellent pull cord replacement option.
Instead of the two-finger or three-finger grip of the pull cord that comes with your mower, the Start Me Up is a rope start solution that lets you pull with your entire hand. Your engine will start more easily, and the rubber padding embedded in the handle allows for a tight, strong grip.
This replacement pull cord is easy to install, and it even comes with an 88-inch rope that you can cut to fit onto any lawn mower. It’s not limited to mowers, either. Chainsaws, snow blowers, boats, weed eaters — any engine with a rope start is compatible with a Start Me Up.
