Lawn mowers come in almost every shape and size you can think of, from the smallest lightweight kind that you push to the huge industrial sized riding kind, and one that is the big thing online and in stores are the Zero Turn Lawn Mowers. But what is the difference? The term "riding mower" has been used to describe everything from any ride-on mower to a residential tractor mower. A riding mower is a rear-engine machine that the operator sits on and simply cuts the grass.
By comparison, a ride-on mower with the engine in front is a lawn tractor, and it can do more than cut a lawn, or a garden tractor to use another name.Among rear-engine riding mowers there are two types: conventional riders and zero-turn riders. Conventional riders are nimble but can take 4 to 28 inches to turn 180 degrees--wasted movement at the end of each directional cut this can be slightly higher or lower depending on the model. A zero-turning-radius rider sometimes called a ZTR does just that: it turns around in its own track, wasting no movement. In addition, most Zero Turn Mowers can move at up to twice the speed of a conventional rider. And with all of the different brands, makes and models you will not lack for choices from Honda to John deer and Toro.
A few more things should be considered when you are looking to buy one of the many Zero Turn Lawn Mowers that are available out there. One is the size of your lawn, a small half acre lot with lots of plans and statues, would be a waste for a ZTR, if you have a fill acre or more with little or no plants and statues then a Zero Turn Lawn Mower is a great idea, so first things first look at your lawn and decide if that is really what you need. The second thing is storage space, nothing is more depressing than getting your new mower home and having it not fit in your storage shed, or even through the gate into the back yard, measure where you want it to be going so you do not buy a machine to big for your home. And a finally thing that most people think of first is price, Zero Turn Lawn Mowers can be found for sale everywhere from online to your big name stores and the little local lawn and garden shop.
