How to Pick the Right Zero Turn Mower

There are many full-featured zero turn mowers on the market today with various customizable add-ons and performance valued features for budget-conscious homeowners and professional landscaping crews alike. To make an informed decision and to ensure you are investing in something that will meet your long-term needs, you should compare features and determine which features will enable you to meet you or your customers’ standards.

A mower with front axle steering will help you with those sharp turns, creating a more professional cut around hedges and other obstacles. Likewise, mowers that have a steady top speed of up to 8 or 10 mph with an adjustable cutting deck will enable you to cover more ground in a shorter amount of time, which is valuable for a landscaping business. Ideally, you may also want something with a pump and motor drive system for heavy duty operation. This type of engine is more durable than most engines you see on riding lawnmowers.

If you’re interested in keeping up the value of your home and property, investing in a good mower is a good way to accomplish this by keeping your grass trim and uniform with the rest of the neighborhood. A good front and rear axle design, wheels that are easy to maneuver, a sophisticated and ergonomically correct steering system, and a blade deck that will be easy to adjust all contribute to a smoother ride and more efficient and accurate cutting lengths, no matter what kind of terrain you happen to be on.

A comfortable ride is important for your lawn crew to retain its stamina when filling multiple work orders. For this reason, many top of the line zero turn riding mowers now have seats with lumbar support, adjustable suspension and arm rests to help facilitate good posture and less strain on the back and neck while working. These are just some of the things you may want to consider when browsing for the purchase of a new riding mower or a fleet of riding mowers for your lawn crew. More accurate and uniform cuts mean happier customers for a better bottom line.
