We understand that no lawn tractor or zero-turn is a one-size-fits-all solution. Here are some thought starters below to help you narrow down what piece of equipment might be right for you.
1. Assess your property
- Terrain - Do you have hills/slopes or flat ground? This plays a significant role in determining what horsepower and transmission type that will suit you best.
2. Zero-turn or lawn tractor?
Reference the chart below to decide which model best suits your needs.
3. Additional uses
Will you be using your mower for anything besides mowing? Jot down all tasks you would like to complete with the mower. Knowing those will help you select the right piece of equipment because it is important to understand what the machine can and cannot handle.
Here are examples of additional uses: bagging leaves and grass, hauling, tilling, and snow removal.
4. Comfort
How long will you be on the mower? Comfort is sometimes overlooked, but it is a significant factor that can help reduce operator fatigue.
5. Parts and service
Will you have access to the store or dealership where you bought the equipment from? This seems like an odd question, but it is an important one. Keeping your machine running at peak performance will require parts and regular maintenance.
