When shopping for a lawn mower, consider the features that are important to you. Ask yourself questions like. • How many obstacles are there? How important is maneuverability? • What size cutting path do I need? • Do I need to bag the grass? Consider some of the following riding mower characteristics to make sure you end up with a purchase that will meet your needs and provide you with an outstanding mowing experience. 1. Handling One of the most important things to consider when purchasing a riding lawn mower is how it handles. Different configurations are designed to handle the different demands of your specific lawn. Riding mowers typically have front-drive, rear-drive or zeroturn handling. 2. Speed If your lawn has many obstructions, you will need to slow down to get the quality cut you want. On the contrary if you have a very large and open lawn you may want the added speed to get the job done quickly. Have both? Consider a multi-speed system. Advantages include: • Ability to slow down around trees, bushes and other obstructions • Capability to speed through short and dry grass but slow down when mowing long or wet grass • Rapidly propels you through the long open areas of your lawn • Considerably reduces time and increases efficiency 3. Cutting Path Riding lawn mowers come in a variety of cutting widths. The size of a mower deck is the actual width that a mower will cut in a single pass. The bigger your lawn, the bigger the mower deck can be. The following gives you a guide of what types of jobs require what cutting path • 76cm/30’’ to 102cm/40’’ mowing decks for lawns up to 4000m2 • 102cm/40’’ to 117cm/46’’ mowing decks for lawns up to 8000m2 • 117cm/46’’ and wider mowing decks for lawns of 8000m2 and more |
