Advantages Of A Zero-Turn Mower

Taking care of your lawn requires you to have the right equipment on hand. For sharp, clean results in record time, you’ll want to look into zero-turn lawn mowers. Developed back in the 1960s, these mowers gained their snug turning style from farming equipment. They’re extremely useful and practical for private landowners and professional landscapers alike.

Four Brothers Outdoor Power, with locations in Royse City and Terrell, Texas, is proud to be your local zero-turn lawn mower dealer. We pride ourselves on offering our customers value, excellence, service and honor. Read on to learn why zero-turn mowers are a worthwhile investment for anyone who’s serious about lawn care.

Navigational Prowess

The most obvious and lauded advantage of a zero-turn mower is how easy it is to handle. The sharp, zero-radius turns that give the machine its name allow the mower to navigate tight spaces and get very close to obstacles. This permits you to easily mow lawns with lots of trees, fences, flower beds, garden patches, shrubs and so forth. 

If the land you mow for your clients is dotted with these obstacles, then a zero-turn mower will help you to easily navigate around them. You’ll be able to mow the surrounding grass quickly without having to make another pass with another machine like a trimmer. 

High Performance

Compared to other types of mowers, zero-turn lawn mowers are extremely efficient and perform very well. The tight zero-radius turns allow you to cut every patch of grass evenly without you having to go over and over the same spots multiple times or pass back on your next turn to give it another shot.

Zero-turn mowers are also much faster than other lawn mowers, sometimes even twice as fast! Certain models can reach speeds of up to 13 miles per hour. Although this isn’t an effective cutting speed, it does make it easier for you to get between areas that need mowing much more quickly, saving you more time.

Greater Fuel Efficiency

Gas-powered zero-turn mowers’ high performance means that your mowing time is reduced, so you’ll expend less fuel and get more work done per gallon. That saves you money and helps you to reduce your carbon footprint. Some zero-turn lawn mowers can even run on other power sources, like battery-operated electric motors, which produce zero emissions and require no gasoline at all. This can save you even more money!

Lessened Maintenance Costs

Since you won’t need to spend as much time using your mower when it cuts so efficiently, you won’t have to tinker with it as much. Lessened riding time helps your machine last longer, since there will be less wear and tear placed on it. If you choose a model with an electric motor, you won’t have to worry about oil changes or other standard motor maintenance tasks.

Additional Features

Some zero-turn mowers come with extra features that are designed to help make your work easier and more comfortable. Canopies shield you from sunburn or light rain while you mow. Baggers allow you to dump grass without leaving the seat. While amenities like these do increase the sticker price of a zero-turn mower, they can be well worth the investment.
