If you are considering buying a riding lawn tractor or a mower you may be wondering what the difference is, aside from price, between the two. After all, they both can accomplish what most people are looking to do with them: mow the lawn.
A riding lawn tractor will be self propelled with the engine in the front of the machine. They are generally used to maintain properties of one acre or larger. Also called garden tractors, these machines are capable of providing sufficient power to use attachments such as a leaf mulch tool, a sweeper, a snow thrower, a moldboard plow, a tiller, and cultivators, just to name the most popular attachments.
Riding mowers typically have their engines in the rear, and are primarily designed with lawn care in mind. The typical property size managed with this type of equipment is under one acre and over half an acre. Although there are some people who do buy these mowers for smaller plots of land simply for the pure enjoyment of riding during the tedious chore of lawn care.
Regardless of which you buy, you should always maintain proper safety while using these machines. They can cause severe injury if proper precautions are not followed. These five simple tips can help keep you safe:
1. Never start your machine unless you are in the seat.
2. Never dismount while the machine is moving.
3. Never carry any passengers as these machines are built for the driver/operator only.
4. Always make sure to mow across slopes on uneven ground.
5. Make sure to reduce speed when moving around sharp corners or up/down slopes in order to avoid tipping over.
