Does the Proslide tear up the lawn?
No, the wear plate is beveled on the edges and after a little use, the sides curl up and glide over grass, sidewalks, and driveways easily. Click here to see the Proslide XT in action.

What does it do to the lawn?
The Proslide is two feet wide and covers the gap between the mower tracks enhancing the striping effect on the lawn. With sharply defined stripes, Proslide lawns look great!

Is the ride rough and will it hurt my back and knees?
Due to the large surface area in contact with the ground at all times, the Proslide has the smoothest ride of all sulky devices. It glides over holes and dips that wheels drop into.

What does it do in wet conditions?
The Proslide spreads the operator's weight over a very large surface area (311 sq. in.) preventing ruts that you get with wheels that concentrate the operators weight (4 sq. in).

What mowers will it attach to?
Almost all commercial walk-behind mowers. Honda and Ferris mowers require an available adapter kit. John Deere offers an exclusive bracket to mount the Proslide XT - See your dealer for details.

How long does the wear plate last?
Depending on the conditions of use, about 500 hours. Use on paved or gravel surfaces reduces the wear plate life.

How does it work?
As the mower starts to move forward, the operator steps down on the foot plate and the mower's forward motion extends the arm. To get off, the operator simply steps off and it retracts out of the way. To back up, the operator simply walks back and the Proslide retracts normally.

Can I get an owner's manual?
Yes. All owner's manuals and other needed information can be downloaded from this site on the Proslide Literature section or Manuals & Warranties section.

What is the warranty policy?
The Proslide has a one-year warranty for parts and labor, excluding the wear plate. Contact Novae Corp. for details.

Is there a better sulky available?
No. No other sulky provides these features:
• Self retracting
• Stays directly behind the mower controls
• No chance of jackknifing
• No additional wheel track
• Enhances lawn striping
• Only the Proslide does all this and more.
