Ride on Mowers

When purchasing a ride-on mower a number of factors must be taken into account, including:

​

• How large an area will you be mowing?
  Larger mowers are more time-effective on large properties, smaller ride-ons can be pushed beyond their designed duty cycle if asked to mow a too large area.

• Is it lawn or a grassy paddock?
  Some ride-ons are more suited to a lawn environment - their deck is not designed for the uneven terrain of a typical paddock.

• What sort of grass? Some of the domestic grasses grow to be extremely lush and thick even without much watering. A high powered motor is required to cut them.

• Do you need to catch the grass clippings? 
  Usually only a question applicable to lawns rather than paddocks. For some kinds of grass the clippings need to be removed to reduce the build-up of thatch and a catcher is essential. For other grasses the options are to leave the clippings where they are thrown, or to use a mulching blade and adaptor to finely chop the clippings and drop them back on to the grass.

• How wide are the gateways between areas to be mown?
  No point having a 107cm (42") wide deck if you have 90cm gates between the areas to be mown.

• Will you be mowing around and in and out of trees?
  If you will need repeatedly to go in between trees and reverse out again a hydro transmission (i.e. an automatic) will be a lot easier to use. If most of your mowing will be up and down open spaces, then a manual or hydro transmission will serve.

• Does the area to be mown and the expected frequency of mowing warrant a ride-on with a commercial specification?
  A pressed steel deck will meet most domestic and small landholder needs, but for commercial use a heavier gauge deck or a fabricated deck will give longer life and lower maintenance and repair.
