ABOUT RIDING LAWN MOWERS
Riding or ride-on lawn mowers have a set so that the user can drive the lawn mower like a small tractor. Whereas a walk-behind lawn mower will typically have a cutting width of around 20 inches, riding lawnmowers have cutting widths of between 42 and 50 inches. This, coupled with their greater speed over the ground, enables grass to be cut in as little as a quarter of the time needed by a walk-behind lawn mower.
The more expensive riding mowers have a 'zero turn' design. The rear wheels can be driven at different speeds, or even in different directions, to allow very tight turns around landscape obstacles such as trees, flower beds, and rockeries. They are usually controlled by two levers, like a bulldozer. Zero turn lawn mowers were originally designed for commercial use, but are increasinly used in the residential market.
