it comes with a bracket that mounts to the mower... it provides two mounting points to the rake. I moved my std trailer hitch ball to this bracket when I mounted it on my mower. And yes they work great. A little dusty... I ended up putting a small tarp on the top of mine to force the dust it blows out the top to go behind me instead of straight up! EDIT... one thing tho' since it basically becomes a solid attachment on the mower... you need a lot of room to turn.
