Riding Mowers: What To Look For

Cutting Width
While all mowers can get the cutting job done, yard size helps determine the optimum cutting deck for your riding mower.

UP TO 1-1/2 ACRES: Choose a mower with a 42" cutting deck.

MORE THAN 1-1/2 ACRES: Choose a mower with a 46" cutting deck.

Horsepower
If you plan to use any attachments or accessories with your tractor, riding mowers with higher horsepower are recommended. Similarly, additional horsepower is suggested if you regularly allow your grass to become tall before cutting.

Automatic or Manual 5-Speed Transmission
Like cars, riding mowers are available with different transmissions.

Hydro-Automatic
A foot pedal controls forward and reverse speeds. This premium transmission requires no shifting or clutching, allowing both hands to remain on the steering wheel at all times.

Automatic
Similar to hydro-automatic, a pedal controls ground speed. This transmission is different in that it must be shifted into forward or reverse (like a car).

Manual 5-Speed
Shifting and clutching are required to change speeds.

Lawn Tractor Tow-Behind Accessories: What To Look For

Increase the versatility of your lawn tractor with the addition of tow-behind accessories like a spreader/seeder, aerator, dethatcher, lawn roller and dump cart. You'll get more out of your tractor while putting more into your lawn with healthy, attractive results.

Aerators

Dethatchers
Dethatchers use tines to bring matted buildup (dead grass, leaves and twigs) to the surface, allowing lawns to “breathe”. Moisture and nutrients can freely travel to the root level.

Spreaders/Seeders
Broadcast spreaders distribute fertilizer, weed control and seed in a wide pattern (up to 12 feet), covering your lawn in fewer passes and reducing the the chance of over- and under-fertilizing. Drop spreaders distribute material between the wheels (preventing overthrow), making them ideal for applying herbicides near shrubs and ornamental beds.

Box Scraper Blades
The box scraper rolls dirt to the side for serious gardening, cultivating and ground breaking.

Lawn Rollers
Ideal for smoothing uneven ground from moles and frost heaving or packing down newly seeded lawns or sod.

Harrows
Cultivate soil, prepare seed beds and rake up dead foliage with your lawn tractor and a spike-tooth or disc harrow.

Gang Reel Mowers
Cuts mowing time considerably! Excellent for uneven terrain since most reel mowers follow the ground for even, nonscalping cuts.

Yard Carts
Steel carts carry higher-capacity loads and are great for heavy-duty applications. Poly carts handle lighter loads, resist scratches, rust and corrosion, and are less noisy over rough terrain.
