You can control the grass discharge easily from a zero-turn mower with the GrassFlap. David Luking’s innovative foot pedal controls make it simple to open and close the grass discharge chute as needed. First introduced a year ago, the hands-free control has proven itself with initial customers.

Items needed for the clutch pedal extender DIY: Pedal cover – Personally, I bought a pedal set at AutoZone (only used the clutch cover) – $12 Note: Look for the covers with latches that grab onto the pedal (See this pedal set as an example) 4 long screws (the pedal cover came with screws but I needed longer ones) – $2. The foot pedals on a John Deere lawnmower may not be at a comfortable height for all users. Adjusting the seat height can be sufficient to correct this in some situations, but others might require further correction. Pedal extenders can be added to the pedals to allow smaller users to comfortably reach them. The pedal extenders used in cars can be used on lawnmower pedals.


“I’ve had people who’ve tried it tell me they won’t cut grass without it now,” says Luking. “Guys who’ve used it mowing cemeteries say it is great for keeping grass off memorial stones. Landscapers like how it helps them avoid hitting sidewalks, walls, flower beds and even parked cars with grass or stones.”
Mower Luking got the idea for the GrassFlap when he upgraded to a zero-turn mower. He had previously made a hand-operated one for his walk-behind. Initially he modified the hand-operated unit for the zero-turn. After a season, he decided he needed a way to open and close the flap on the chute with his feet while steering in close quarters. Over the summer he refined the concept. It worked so well that he decided to start offering it for use on other zero-turn mowers.

The 10-ga. steel flap mounts to the grass chute. The foot pedal mounts to the foot deck where it can be operated with the heel of the foot.
“We’ve tried to keep it simple. At first we tried to make a universal model that could fit any zero-turn or stand-on mower without drilling holes,” says Luking. “However, there are too many different designs. While the foot pedal is standard, discharge openings and chutes can vary.”

Luking now has different versions for different brands. Some fit existing holes in the mower deck, while others require holes to be drilled to mount the pedal and the flap. However, he only has one price.
“We keep it simple with a $275 price plus $20 shipping for all models,” says Luking. “We do offer volume discounts.”
Generic instructions make it easy to install the units, adds Luking. “The first time you install one, it can take an hour or more,” he says. “Once you have some experience, it will take 45 min. or less.”
