Looking for a New Mower?
Consider Zero Turn!
Alright... this is not a blog ONLY about zero turn mowers (I know my last two posts have been about zero turns). I just love them so much I had to write about them again!
Husqvarna Zero Turn |
Zero turn mowers are pretty
new to the consumer market and have unparalleled power and durability. They’re
the consumer adaptation of commercial cutters and have special transmissions
that help them cut closer and with more maneuverability than the push mower you
grew up mowing your family’s yard with.
Pivoting 180 degrees, zero
turn mowers easily maneuver around landscaping features without leaving circles
of uncut grass. Plus, improved controllability often eliminates the need to use
trimmers and lessens the physical strain on you.
If noise a concern in the
neighborhood, check out the line-up of zero turn mowers from Snapper.
Their 500Z series packs a ton of power but won’t bother your neighbors with
large rear canister-type muffler on the Briggs V-Twin engines.

Husqvarna, on the other hand,
is no newcomer to the block. Having sold zero turns around the world for years,
their mowers are new to American markets but fine-tuned. Check out their product
line for high mowing decks and durability.
While pricier than standard
lawn tractors or riding mowers, zero turn mowers are really versatile.
Attachments enable you to mulch your grass clippings back into your lawn, bag
yard clippings, and vacuum garden waste. John Deere has a huge
selection.
