Okay, let’s talk tractor mowers.
Tractor for mowing types.
- Lawn Tractors: These are the most common type of ride-on mowers, with the engine mounted at the front. Great for large lawns and they have the capability of adding attachments.
- Zero-Turn Mowers: Known for their exceptional maneuverability, these mowers can turn on a dime, making them perfect for lawns with many obstacles. They are controlled by lap bars.
- Garden Tractors: These are more powerful than lawn tractors and can handle heavy-duty tasks like tilling and hauling. Great for larger properties and demanding landscaping tasks.
- Rear-Engine Riding Mowers: These mowers have an engine mounted at the back, offering better visibility and maneuverability. Usually smaller and more compact; they handle the medium-sized jobs quite well.
- Electric Riding Mowers: These are eco-friendly options that run on batteries. Quieter and require less maintenance than gas-powered mowers.
- Rotary Cutters: Also known as a brush mower, these are used for cutting through thick grass, weeds, and even small trees. If you have a tough job with overgrown shrubs, this is the way to go.
- Finish Mowers: These provide a clean, manicured cut and are often used for lawns and sports fields. For the professional look, this is the mower to consider.
- Flail Mowers: These are versatile mowers that can handle both rough and fine mowing tasks. Use flails on a rotating drum and are great for uneven terrain.
Each type has its own strengths and is suited for different types of lawns and landscaping needs. Do you have a specific type of lawn or task in mind that you’re looking to tackle?
What are your specific needs?
This is what it all boils down to: what do you need the tractor mower for and is it worth the cost for you to buy a tractor mower. They are not cheap. Often costing thousands of dollars, and often requiring continual maintenance and repair, you need to make sure this is something you need and not just a luxury.
Would it be cheaper to hire a tractor mowing services to periodically mow your acreage rather than fork out thousands for you to do it? We don’t have the answer to that question; only you do, but it is a question you need to think long and hard about.
