Abstract
An apparatus suitable for using a landscape tool around an obstacle in association with a driver. The apparatus comprises: a frame adapted to operatively connect the apparatus to a transport device, a traveler, an open-centered support having a gap therein, the support being secured to the frame and being adapted to slidably engage the traveler; an engager adapted to operatively connect the traveler to a driver permitting the driver to cause the traveler to slide along the support, and a laterally adjustable tool attachment bracket secured to the traveler and adapted to receive the landscape tool. In operation, the apparatus is presented to the obstacle such that the obstacle passes through the gap into the open center of the support, whereupon the engager engages the driver and the traveler slides along the support, such that the tool moves around the obstacle.
