Zero-turn lawn mowers have two levers instead of a steering wheel so that the wheels on the front and back of the mower can maneuver independently. This allows you to move the mower with a turning radius of zero. Whether it’s for your personal lawn or a commercial business, these mowers are a wonderful investment thanks to some unique benefits.

Reasons to Use a Zero-Turn Lawn Mower

1. Easy Maneuverability

The dual wheel motors with levers provide complete control over how you move the mower. You can turn on a dime left, right, and backward. This makes it easy to get around tough obstacles, tight corners, and to turn around to go back down the length of a lawn without missing a section. Before long you’ll wish your car could feature this technology as well.

2. Quicker Mowing

The easy maneuverability of zipping around obstacles and changing direction significantly shortens your mowing time. For larger lawns, it can even cut your mowing time in half.

This makes commercial landscaping businesses much more profitable since they can cut down the time spent on each lawn. Meanwhile, DIY homeowners enjoy carving out extra weekend time to do the things they enjoy the most.

3. Reduced Costs

Reduced mowing times also reduce your costs. You’ll spend less money on fuel, and your engine will wear down more slowly. Your wheels, oil, and engine parts will all have longer life spans, adding up to an efficient long-term investment.

4. Beautiful Results

Zero-turn mowers typically have a higher blade tip speed than other models. This, combined with the fact that you can move closely around obstacles and efficiently move back and forth, delivers a cleaner cut that will grow into lushness each time.
