HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT RIDE-ON FOR YOU
Selecting the perfect ride-on mower involves careful consideration of various factors to ensure you meet the specific needs of your lawn and garden. At PowerMowers, we are dedicated to assisting you in finding the ideal mower that will help transform your lawn care experience and make your life easier.
DO I NEED A RIDE-ON MOWER
Ride-on mowers are particularly suited for larger properties and can handle rougher terrains. Rear engine riders are excellent choices for gardens with gentle slopes, while a lawn tractor offers versatility and performs well on various surface types. For larger lawn areas, a lawn tractor is often recommended due to its larger size, improved comfort features and greater operating power.
LAWN SIZE
The size of your lawn is a critical factor when selecting a ride-on
mower. For smaller properties, a mower with a narrow turning circle and a compact design would be a suitable choice. For small areas, a comfortable ride, a narrower cutting deck and exceptional manoeuvrability around obstacles is key. For these applications, we'd recommend a mower like our AT2-66 QA.
Alternatively, if you have a substantial area to cover, opting for a bigger, more powerful mower is advisable. We offer units with enhanced comfort, smooth acceleration, and precise cutting, making them indispensable for large lawns. For these applications, we'd recommend a mower like our AT3-98 HA. Evaluate the size of your lawn carefully to ensure you choose a ride-on mower with features tailored to your acreage.
TERRAIN
Considering the terrain of your lawn is crucial before purchasing a
ride-on mower. If you have a complex landscape with lots of varying, small-angled slopes, it's important to choose a unit with smaller footprint to avoid scalping damage to your turf during manoeuvring. Additionally consider what grass lengths you’ll be tackling; selecting a mower with variable cutting options including rear-discharge catching, side-discharge or mulching features makes for a versatile ride-on.
FOR LONGER GRASS
SIDE-DISCHARGE
Power through overgrown grass effectively while maintaining efficiency and speed.
RETAIN NUTRIENTS
MULCHING
Return chopped up clippings back to your turf to retain moisture and reduce soil temperatures.
FOR FINER FINISHES
REAR-DISCHARGE CATCHING
Delivers a finer, more presentable lawn finish.
LAWN COMPLEXITY
If your lawn has numerous trees,
flower beds, furniture, or other elements, mowing can become challenging. In such cases, a narrower mower with a tight turning circle will prove to be more convenient in busier backyards. See below for our mowers suitable for these applications
