Figure Out What You Need

The most important part of buying a lawn mower is figuring out what your needs are. Of course, budget and personal preferences will play a role, but you’ll need to think about your property and what type of equipment will suit your land. 

Push and Walk-Behind Mowers

Push mowers are classic models that probably elicit images of 1950s suburbia. However, these machines aren’t outdated. They are actually a great choice for small patches of grass. You won’t have to worry about fuel or a collection bag. They come in a variety of widths and are the most affordable option.

Walk-behind mowers, on the other hand, are a step up from push models in terms of technology. These mowers add some power to the mix. These are a popular choice among homeowners who don’t have massive amounts of grass to cut. They come in gas or electric, and push or self-propelled models. These are an affordable option and will last for years to come.

Riding Mowers

For those who have plenty of ground to cover or may have back pain, a riding model is the best choice. You won’t have to rely on your physical strength and stamina to maintain your yard. Instead, you’ll be able to sit comfortably and operate the machine from a seated position. If you’re taking hours to cut your grass using a walk-behind model, it’s probably time to upgrade to a riding model.

Zero-Turn Mowers

A zero-turn mower is one type of riding model that you may be interested in. As the name suggests, these machines can execute turns with an effective radius of zero. This means you turn after finishing a pass to line up perfectly for the next. These machines are fast, efficient, and can handle obstacles. Keep in mind that they are not ideal for cutting blade heights above six inches.
