VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – New attachments give the lightweight and powerful MM 55 STIHL YARD BOSS® versatility – easily transforming it from a high-performance cultivator to a bed edger, lawn aerator, lawn dethatcher or sweeper. Already one of STIHL's most adaptable multi-task landscaping tools, new attachments transform the YARD BOSS® into a yard care solution for outdoor chores.

Attachments Add Flexibility
Attachments available for the STIHL YARD BOSS® include: Pick Tines Cultivator, Bolo Tines Cultivator, Bed Edger, Lawn Aerator, STIHL PowerSweep™, Bristle Brush, and Lawn Dethatcher.

The Pick Tines Cultivator helps prepare soil for planting by loosening soil in prepared gardening and planting areas
The Bolo Tines Cultivator, a variation of the pick tine. Offers an alternative to those that prefer this style of cultivating tine shape.
The Bed Edger creates a finished appearance for lawns by making a distinct edge separating cultivated soil in planting areas from grass lawns.
The Lawn Aerator allows air, moisture, fertilizer and other nutrients to reach roots by cutting a series of slits into the soil of the lawn.
The STIHL PowerSweep™ is designed to clean up caked dirt along roads and sidewalks; move pebbles, mulch and sand in turf; and sweep water or light snow along hard flat surfaces.
The Bristle Brush makes quick work of sweeping jobs. With one pass of its nylon bristle broom it covers an area up to 24" wide.
The Lawn Dethatcher simplifies removal of dead grass or other accumulated material from the soil surface.

Accessories Enhance Performance
Additional accessories, including a wheel kit, depth gauge and weight kit, are available to further enhance the MM 55's performance. The wheel kit is used with the STIHL PowerSweep and Bristle Brush attachments to reduce operator fatigue by shouldering more of the weight load. The depth gauge allows for precise control of the tilling depth. The weight kit adds a powerful punch to the YARD BOSS®, enhancing its ability to dig into tough soil.
