Zero Turn Mowers For Sale - What You Need To Know Before You Buy

1. Comfort

Even though you’ll be sitting most of the time, cutting the grass with a zero-turn mower can be strenuous work. Without the right seat on your mower, all that turning and jostling will be hard on your back.

But there’s no reason to grin and bear it! Make the mower’s comfort a top priority, giving yourself time for a “test sit” on whatever zero-turn mower you’re thinking about purchasing. Choose one that has a comfortable, premium-class seat, as well as ergonomic steering and controls. After all, there’s no reason to settle for a whole season of aches and pains if you don’t have to.

2. Deck size

That depends on where you’ll be mowing. For example, a wide cutting deck will reduce your mowing time in open spaces, but you’ll have a tougher time maneuvering in tight areas with obstacles like trees or shrubs. Plus, getting through a fence gate with a behemoth mower can prove difficult. On the flip side, a deck that’s too small could add needless hours to your workload. Select a deck size based on the yard or type of properties you’ll be mowing most frequently. And, if possible, test a few different sizes to see what works best for you.

3. Deck design

Of course, the cutting deck’s width isn’t the only factor affecting the amount of time you’ll spend on your zero-turn mower. The design of the deck itself is important, too. Deep decks engineered specifically for air induction mowing, such as Husqvarna’s own ClearCut® deck, disperse high volumes of grass more evenly and resist clogging more effectively.

4. Durability

You may think it’s impossible to know how well a zero-turn mower (or any other piece of equipment) is going to hold up over the long run, but don’t worry—here are a few key things to look for:

Steel gauge number – The lower the number of the steel’s gauge, the greater its thickness.

Cast iron components – Cast iron spindle housings or other such parts are a must-have if you’re searching for a commercial grade zero-turn mower.

Serviceability – Look for easy-access service points to streamline the oil, filter and battery changes that will need to be performed to maximize your mower’s lifespan.

5. Special features

If you’re going to invest in a new zero-turn mower, why settle for the same old same old? Take your turf maintenance to the next level by choosing a model that brings some innovation to the table. Look for special features such as an automatic parking break system in the steering handles, a sleek design or LED headlights for mowing in lowlight conditions.
