Often, people think that their yard isn’t suitable for a ride on mower, thanks to tight corners or hard to reach places. However, with a Zero Turn machine, anything is possible. Capable of turning 180 degrees on the spot, they are easy to control and faster than a standard ride on too!
Homeowners will love using a zero turn style, thanks to the irregularities that are often present on residential properties. From intricate garden beds to navigating between your home and garage, they are the perfect choice.
It isn't only homeowners that have to tackle hard to maintain areas. Botanical gardens and golf courses - just to name a few - are some of the public and commercial spaces that require professional maintenance and a zero turn mower.
The main reason people invest in Zero Turn machines is their superior manoeuvrability – turning on the spot ensures they can easily reach tight or narrow spaces, meaning you don’t have to perform any complicated three-point turns.
Rather than a traditional steering wheel, Zero Turn ride on mowers are controlled by holding two levers (one in each hand – for each of the rear wheels) and moving them forward or backward depending on the direction you want to go.
Despite their huge popularity among domestic users, Zero Turn machines where actually designed for commercial use. Smaller models are now perfect for the home, whilst larger and more durable designs are ideal for businesses.
Zero Turn mowers are designed with large, widely set back wheels – which alleviates pressure on the lawn underneath and results in less flattening and damage to your grass, as well as lowering the mowers centre of gravity for improved balance.
