The problem comes from manufactures design.

A walk-behind trimmer rides only on its two rear wheels. To operate it, you must constantly press down on the handlebar to lift the trimmer head off the ground, while also squeezing the accelerator bar to keep the machine moving.

Over time, this becomes exhausting. The trimmer is heavy and bulky, and the engine vibration combined with uneven ground, rough terrain, and slopes causes strain on your arms, shoulders, and lower back.

Many owners say they cannot finish their yard work the way they want because the machine wears them out quickly. They often have to stop after a short time due to discomfort or pain.

This is why so many people look for ways to make their walk-behind trimmer easier to control, safer to maneuver, more comfortable to use.

I have personally struggled and felt frustrated while trimming with my Craftsman Walk-behind trimmer. It was hard to control and maneuver because it rides on two wheels. The trimmer was heavy, noisy, and vibrated during trimming.

Great news for the owners of the walk behind trimmer.

The 1st US Patent Pending 3rd Wheel Conversion Kit for any walk-behind trimmer.
In 2017, I invented the WBTAP, which stands for "Walk Behind Trimmer Attachment Plate."
The WBTAP is an aluminum plate measuring 24" x 15" x 7/16".
It is equipped with a 5" caster swivel wheel and comes with a set of 4 bolts, nuts, and washers. Our bolts are 1/2" longer than the original bolts. Tighten the 4 bolts to secure the pale to the frome-body-deck.

Installing the WBTAP on any trimmer, regardless of brand or model, is very simple. You only need two 7/16" wrenches.
Stand your trimmer upright. Snap the WBTAP underneath the black plastic guard protector.
Secure the bolts. The entire installation process takes less than 15 minutes.

So easy & simple to install the 3rd wheel conversion kit 
on the yardman or any trimmer regardless trimmer brand or model

Benefits of Using the WBTAP:

• Eliminate pressing down on the handlebar and move the trimmer with one hand.
• Make smooth 360-degree turns with ease.
• Reduce fatigue and body aches during trimming.
• Improve maneuverability and control.
• Enjoy a quieter and more comfortable trimming experience.

Compatible Brands and Models:

The WBTAP fits a wide range of walk-behind trimmer brands and models.

Walk-behind trimmer manufacturers know their own brands and models, and most owners become familiar with only the specific trimmer they use. From my hands-on experience, I believe I am one of the very few people who has personally worked with, inspected, and disassembled such a wide range of walk-behind trimmer brands and models.

I have opened these trimmers to examine the internal frame, body, deck, clutch, belt, spindle, gears, and other components. I also inspected underneath each trimmer frame and deck to determine the safest and strongest mounting location for my 3rd Wheel Conversion Plate under the trimmer.

I repeated this hands-on process across the many walk-behind trimmers I have worked with. Because of this experience, I understand the differences in their frame designs, construction, components, wheel systems, and overall operation in great detail.

My goal is to share this practical walk-behind trimmer knowledge with consumers so they can better understand different brands and models before buying, maintaining, repairing, or modifying a walk-behind trimmer.
