Multi Function Equipment Trailer (MFET) – Attachment: Reel Mower

Another day, another attachment! Expanding the versatility of the MFET (Multi Function Equipment Trailer) system, I’m excited to present the Reel Mower — a compact, lightweight, and fully modular cutting solution for all your LEGO landscaping needs.

Built for Realism and Function
The Reel Mower attachment is inspired by traditional push-style reel mowers, commonly used for small lawns and sports fields. True to its name, this version features a simulated cutting reel design built from Technic elements. The geometry and shape capture the sweeping motion and compact structure of its real-life counterpart.

This version connects seamlessly to the rear universal hitch system of the MFET, utilizing the new tow arm design for improved articulation and load balance. Thanks to a low centre of gravity and single-axle design, the Reel Mower tracks beautifully behind the MFET, with just the right amount of play in the connection for tight turns and realistic movement.

Design Features

  • Quick Hitch Compatible – Like all MFET attachments, this version uses my standard hitch layout, making it easy to connect, swap, and play.

  • Floating Reel Deck – A flexible pivot allows the mower deck to follow uneven terrain — perfect for simulating mowing action over LEGO terrain plates or carpet.

  • Durable Construction – Built using reinforced liftarms and Technic panels in bright green for maximum visibility and strength.

  • Scaled Play Value – Proportioned to suit MFET builds and mid-sized LEGO Technic trucks or utility vehicles.

Use Case Scenarios
This reel mower is ideal for landscaping, sports field maintenance, and even pretending to mow LEGO city parks or lawns. Whether you're imagining a local council doing weekend maintenance or a golf course being trimmed before a tournament, the Reel Mower fits right in.
