If you have a large yard, using a push mower to cut the grass could be a time-consuming, labor-intensive process. Luckily, there is lawn equipment specifically designed to care for one or more acres. Below is a guide to lawn mowers and tractors to use on expansive landscapes. 

3 Pieces of Lawn Equipment Used to Maintain Large Yards

1. Lawn Tractors

Lawn tractors are comfortable to ride and feature broad mowing decks, belt-drive motors, and engines with 15 to 25 horsepower. These features make it possible to cut the grass in half the time it would take using a manual or electric walk-behind mower, without strain to the legs, feet, or back. Mainly used for mowing, lawn tractors have large baggage areas to hold grass clippings. 

2. Garden Tractors

Although similar in appearance to lawn tractors, garden tractors are often bigger and sturdier, with differential locks to maneuver hilly and rough terrain. They also feature heavy-duty transmissions, direct-drive motors, and engines with 20 to 30 horsepower capabilities. Because the mechanical components are powerful, garden tractors can easily pull tillers, snow throwers, and other heavy attachments for year-round use.

With zero-turn radius mowers, two levers are used to navigate lawn equipment from a seated position. Operated by two engines, the rear wheels move the mower. This allows for a better turning radius when compared to lawn and garden tractors. The lawn equipment is often used to cut grass around trees, shrubs, and other obstacles.
