Zero-Turn Mowers Article from Morgan Power EquipmentThe larger your lawn, the more important your mower type becomes. No one wants to cut a several acre field sweating behind a push mower! When it comes to large properties, it’s hard to beat out zero-turn mowers. These innovative styles appeal to business owners and homeowners for their handling, efficiency, and more. Born out of the 1960s, they were created when the zero-turn technology in farm equipment was modified to fit lawn mowers.

Over the years, zero-turn mower technology advanced to adapt to changing consumer needs. We gathered up our favorite advantages of zero-turn mowers below. When you are ready to see models in person, visit Morgan Power Equipment. We proudly serve those in Halifax, Brockton, Taunton, Plymouth, and Middleborough, Massachusetts.

Easy Handling

Many people gravitate to zero-turn mowers because they are easy to operate. Individual wheels are connected to operator handles. To make a turn, you stop one wheel and engage the other. This technology lets you make incredibly sharp turns that other mowers could not. They also can weave in and out of tight spaces better. Navigate around obstacles like fences, flower beds, and more with ease.

Efficiency

The zero-turn technology makes these mowers a great time-saver. With other mowers, you would miss large patches of grass each time you turn around. The tight turns with zero-turn technology means you get close cuts each time. You won’t need to pass back over areas you already mowed to get those spots! The larger your field, the more time you save.

Zero-turn mowers also run up to twice the speed of other mowers. The high-performing models can even hit speeds upwards of 13 miles per hour. When you can ride faster, you get the job done faster.

Fuel Efficiency

The higher mowing efficiency also results in higher fuel efficiency. You cut your field faster and use less gas to get the same chore down. This can be a big savings in the long run! Some zero turn mowers run off of alternative fuel sources (like electric) which also boosts their fuel efficiency.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

The more often you drive your mower, the more the machine gets worn down. This wear and tear means replacing broken parts and full-service maintenances. Zero-turn mowers cut your lawn in less driving time. When you ride your mower less, it encounters less wear and tear. You’ll need to replace broken parts less and take it in for a service less often. This results in savings for you! Enjoy an extended life of your mower and lower repair costs.

Special Features

The bare bones of a basic zero-turn mower will be incredibly useful for the average lawn. But some people need more from their machine. There are plenty of attachments available to boost your mower capabilities. Use mulching kits to repurpose the fresh cut lawn clippings into mulch that gets evenly distributed over your lawn. Add an attachable hitch so you can tow different items or equipment around your property. Add a snowplow so you can easily remove snow in the winter.

You can also find zero-turn mowers with built-in amenities. Protect yourself against sunburn with a canopy. Baggers make for easy dumping of grass - you won’t even need to leave your seat! These are just a few of the many special feature options available to you.
