With spring on its way, now is the time to consider if you need to purchase a new landmower or ride-on tractor. So here is some guidance to get you started:
Getting Started
Whether you’re in the market for a petrol or electric lawnmower, a compact ride-on tractor, or a more powerful machine, WG Gardencare offers over 25 years of expertise providing advice and help on buying and owning these tools.
For most lawns, a petrol or electric push mower should suffice. However, for larger or sloping lawns, a self-propelled petrol model is ideal. If your lawn spans half an acre or more, a lawn tractor might be your best bet.
How to choose a lawnmower or ride on tractor
1. Think about your lawn mower or tractor’s purpose. Many mowers offer options to mulch, bag, or side-discharge grass clippings. Your choice depends on your composting capability for the waste.
2. Evaluate the features and controls. Ride-on tractors typically have handy pedals or levers for speed control. Self-propelled mowers may let you control speed by pushing the handlebar or adjusting ground speed without lifting your hands.
3. For hilly properties, avoid zero-turn or rear-steering tractors, as their tight-turn capabilities make steep slopes tricky. Consider models with front steerable wheels instead.
