The Lawn Tractor Versus A Riding Lawnmower

Unlike purchasing a car, you are not able to test drive a riding lawn mower before you buy it; however, the selection process for both are similar. If you are considering the purchase of a lawn tractor because it can be more powerful and efficient than a riding mower, then begin by deciding what model you want, what features are important to you and how much you can afford to spend.

Also, just like cars, there are several different types of models, including rotary, reel, battery, gas powered and electric lawn mowers. The tractors also have a range of different models from those that simply cut grass to the more expensive models that have all of the "bells and whistles." Not only are there several models, there are several different manufacturers as well.

If you are looking for a machine that does not have a great deal of extras but does get the job done, then consider checking out the Murray lawn mowers. They have a good selection including their lawn tractor and are considered very reliable by most. There is one point that may be a drawback for you and that is that if something does need to be replaced, then you can only replace it with Murray mowers parts, as no other brand will fit.

Of course, there are many other brands that have a great selection so finding something to suit your needs should not be difficult. Some of the major manufacturers include Honda, John Deere and Toro lawn mowers, so be sure to check around.

Honda lawn mowers are offered in a wide range of types and they are known for their easy-starting engines that deliver a quiet, smooth and reliable stroke power. All of their mowers, including the lawn tractor, are EPA emissions compliant and offer more than enough power for your home needs.

John Deere lawn mowers are an obviously popular product and perhaps one reason for that is that they have one of the largest selections available, including approximately 150 different types of tractors, from small tractors all they way up to commercial lawn mowers and tractors. Options abound on all of their models and may include a generous 54 inch deck, which reduces the number of passes you will need to make and variable cutting height adjustments.
