Small Riding Mowers Save Time and Money

Small riding mowers  (U.S. and Canada) or  ride-on mowers  (U.K.) are a popular alternative for large lawns. The operator is provided with a seat and controls on the mower and literally rides on the machine. Most use the horizontal rotating blade system, though usually with multiple blades.

Large riding mowers and tractors

Large riding mowers and tractors cover several types of products. This can be a bit confusing for the homeowner or landscape professional. However, breaking down the types of mowers into different categories can make this purchase easier. Mowers are separated into categories based mainly on how much weight they can carry and how much ground they can cover on a regular basis. Separate categories also exist for different designs of mowers. The most basic category of mowers is designated as  lawn tractors . Lawn tractors can handle yard areas up to two acres in size. They can handle light hauling tasks and are ideal for basic lawn care. For most average yards, a basic lawn tractor offers plenty of power and functionality, while still having a reasonable price tag.

These lawn tractors typically have an opening in the side or rear of the housing where the cut grass is expelled. Some have a grass catcher attachment at the opening to bag the grass clippings. Special  mulching  blades are available for rotary mowers. The blade is designed to keep the clippings circulating underneath the mower until the clippings are chopped quite small. Other designs have twin blades to mulch the clippings to small pieces. This function has the advantages of forgoing the additional work collecting and disposing grass clippings while reducing lawn waste in such a way that also creates convenient  compost  for the lawn, forgoing the expense of  fertilizer .
