LEGO Technic 42209 - Mod - Rear Mount Reel Mower MK2

Another day, another upgrade! Continuing the expansion of rear-mounted tools for the 42209 Volvo L120 Front End Loader, I’m excited to introduce the Reel Mower Attachment MK2 — a compact, road-ready, and fully functional mowing unit designed to work seamlessly with my rear lifting attachment system.

Realism Meets Road Function

Inspired by traditional push-style reel mowers, the MK2 version brings both functionality and improved mobility to your LEGO Technic builds. This updated version now features rear wheels, allowing the attachment to be towed across roads or terrain without damaging the mower deck — adding a new layer of play and transport realism.

The Reel Mower connects to the L120 using my rear lifting attachment mount, meaning it can be easily raised or lowered for working or transport modes. It also maintains full compatibility with my rear lifting attachment mount, keeping it modular and easy to swap out, in this case by removing the two Orange pins.

Key Features

• Rear Wheels for Road Transport – Now equipped with a dual-wheel setup, allowing the attachment to roll freely behind the L120 when not in use.

• Rear Lift Compatible – Designed specifically for the custom rear lifting attachment on the 42209, allowing full lifting functionality.

• Floating Reel Deck – The mower deck pivots freely to follow uneven LEGO terrain, simulating real-world mowing dynamics.

• Technic Reel Detail – Built using a simulated rotating reel made from Technic elements, for an authentic look and feel.

• Strong, Lightweight Build – Reinforced with liftarms and Technic panels in lime green for durability and high visibility.

• Quick Hitch System – Swaps in seconds using my rear lifting attachment mount for 42209 mods.

Use Scenarios

From mowing LEGO city parks to grooming the greens of a mini golf course, the Reel Mower MK2 brings landscaping to life. Its compact footprint and working-style design make it a perfect addition for roleplay involving councils, contractors, or farm crews.

Whether driving it down a LEGO street or getting to work on the lawn, the Reel Mower MK2 brings a new layer of realism and play to your 42209.
