Abstract
An adjustable depth gauge attachment is provided for use with implements, such as rotary mowers and other vegetation cutting apparatus. The depth gauge takes the form of a hemispherically-shaped skid element carried on an adjustable leg. The gauge is optionally carried by a bracket which can be mounted to a mower deck as an aftermarket addition. The hemispherical skid element serves to provide skidding depth gauging, as well as minimize scalping when uneven terrain is encountered.
