What are the benefits of a garden tractor?

Garden tractors are more weighted than zero-turn mowers. This makes them great for adding different attachments to use on your property as well. Some of these attachments can include tillers, carts, front blades, or even snow blowers.

 

Is a zero-turn or a garden tractor right for me?

Deciding which type of mower is the right fit for you can be a little confusing sometimes. Here are a few key things to look at to help you decide which choice is right for you.

A zero-turn is the right fit for you if:

  • Simply mowing grass is the goal
  • Compact areas or lawns that need to maneuver landscaping and other obstacles

A garden tractor is the right fit for you if:

  • Trying to tackle multiple jobs (not just mowing grass)
  • You need to plow snow, grade your driveway, tow materials, etc.
