The Benefits of Zero-Turn Mowers
Known as versatile, easy to handle, efficient and ergonomically-designed—zero-turn mowers have made a huge splash in the landscaping market since their introduction in the 1960s. It’s not hard to see why! These machines turn on a dime to plow through grass more quickly without missing spots as you go. This improved efficiency cuts down your mowing time so you can relax and enjoy your grass more instead of making multiple passes in a sluggish machine. Professional businesses and homeowners alike can benefit from the improved efficiency of these machines.
Still not convinced of the virtues of the zero-turn mower? Power Sports Abrams, serving Wisconsin, has all the details you need on what makes zero-turn mowers so reliable and useful for landscaping and lawn care needs.
Improved Navigation
One of the primary advantages of zero-turn mowers is how easily they handle. Other types of mowers can be more of a pain to maneuver around your yard because they move at slower speeds and take wider turns that cause you to miss giant patches of grass as you go. This forces you to come back later to finish what your mower couldn’t do on the first pass.
A zero-turn mower, on the other hand, will turn so tightly that no blades are missed. Their sharp turns allow them to get closer to obstacles like trees, bushes, flower beds and fences so that you don’t have to go back and try to clean up everything you left behind on a less efficient machine.
Higher Fuel Efficiency
If you want to save more money, then you’ll want to find ways to stretch that tank of gas as much as you can. Your zero-turn mower uses less gas when it doesn’t have to operate as long because of its higher speeds, which can reach twice the speed of your average lawn mower. Some models get as high as 13 miles per hour, allowing you to maneuver more quickly around your property. You can also invest in models that don’t run on diesel or gas. Some mowers come in electric styles, which removes the need for expensive fuel entirely.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Cutting your grass in a shorter amount of time means that you aren’t operating your zero-turn mower for as many hours. That reduction in riding time means that your machine will last longer. Less wear and tear means less time in the shop!
More Special Features
While your zero-turn mower will help you to get your lawn in shape quickly and easily, this isn’t all it’s capable of doing! Adding some attachments can improve the versatility and increase the overall usefulness of your machine. Mulching kits can be equipped to distribute cut grass across your yard to infuse it with nutrients. Adding a hitch lets you tow and haul trailers and pieces of heavy equipment around. A snowplow attachment will come in handy particularly in the harsh Wisconsin winters when you need to shovel snow off your driveway quickly and easily.
For your comfort while you operate your zero-turn mower, you can add some great amenities to your machine. Canopies will shield you from light rains and hot sunlight, reducing sunburn. Baggers will allow you to dump grass while you remain in your seat. These amenities and more can make your experience that much more comfortable and efficient so you won’t dread the chore any longer.
