Abstract
A combination power driven lawn mower and lawn care chemical dispensing machine is disclosed in which a hopper for dry granular chemicals is affixed to the top of the lawn mower frame in such a manner that the chemical may be dispensed over an area defined by the swath of lawn cut by the blade. In one embodiment, a trough type of hopper is positioned between the rear axles of the mower and has a dispensing area whose width is the diameter of the blade arc. In an alternative embodiment, a special type of dispensing blade is employed which is connected to the hopper by means of a communicating trunk cut through the bedplate of the mower.
