All About Riding Lawn Mowers
Most riding lawn mowers are machines fun to ride and extremely
cool to look at. However, they are just a dream for many
gardeners who can not afford one of these powerful gardening
equipment. A riding mower can be a practical time saving machine
for professionals as well as for beginner or amateur
landscapers. If you are on of those homeowners, lucky to
maintain a large yard, it can be a good idea to invest in a
riding mower.
Basics of lawn mowers
We will explain first the type of mowers on the market and then
which one would fit better with your current needs. Basic riding
mowers are actually those featuring rear engines. They use to
come with small horsepower engines, usually mounted under the
operator's seat. These mowers have reasonable power sized
cutting blades and fit perfectly into small lawns with less than
1 acre.
The next level up is for medium horsepower riding lawn mowers;
these mowers use to include their engines at the front; there
can fit larger engines due to the space. They have a stronger
and faster cutting capacity. Medium riding mowers provide better
performance on hilly gardens and are the perfect complement for
yards between 1 and 3 acres. Commercial riding lawn mowers are
designed for really large yards, including sport fields, they
can be extremely expensive for homeowners and won't really
provide their best performance in yards no bigger than 3 yards.
Here you can find some important points to have in mind before
you decide on the most suitable model that would better fit with
your necessities. The final choose will depend basically on:
* The type of terrain of your mowing area as well as the size of
it. And what other tasks
would you like to do with your new
lawnmower?. It is also very important to know whether or not the
area includes slopes or hilly areas. The most flat is your
mowing area the better performance you will get from the machine.
* It is always extremely important to select a comfortable seat,
especially when you will be sitting for a long time. You will
save a lot on back injuries and other common diseases related
with sat jobs. There is no choice with that, it's preferable
that the mower's seat be comfortable enough, don't make the
mistake that most do, it worth.
* Does the garden include trees or rocks that require permanent
change of direction during the mowing process? It's very
important to find all the finishing touch to choose amongst
steering wheels and tires.
* There are different bagging or recycling grass options; here
you have mainly to mulching or to bagging. While mulching will
cut the grass into fine clippings and then give it back to your
lawn, providing nutrients to it, the second will just fill up a
rear bag, being easier for the rider to empty and replace it
with new ones.
* There are many attachments on the market to choose from. You
probably just need a riding lawnmower including normal features.
In addition, you can usually attach other features, like the
ones to remove snow during winter time.
