ForoGore Rear Hitch Receiver Adapter for John Deere Z-Trak — 2" Receiver, Heavy-Duty Powder-Coated Steel

ForoGore's 2" rear hitch receiver adapter converts compatible John Deere Z-Trak zero-turn mowers into a tow-capable platform for sweepers, spreaders, aerators and rollers.

This heavy-duty bolt-on adapter fits a range of John Deere Z-Trak models and installs using the mower's existing rear mounting holes so you can tow lawn attachments without cutting or welding.
