Riding mowers make lawn care much easier, especially when dealing with a large property. However, your landscaping efforts can become even more efficient when using a specialty attachment like a brush mower or grooming mower. Here’s a closer look at how these attachments can streamline your landscaping routine.

Brush Mowers

A brush mower is designed for heavy-duty work. This high-powered equipment contains several rotary cutting blades that are used to cut through tall grass, dense brush, and even small trees as large as three inches in diameter. Because of this, brush mowers are typically used for properties that have become overgrown with weeds, fallen branches, and other vegetation. 

A brush mower relies on the momentum of the blades to make the cuts and help restore a property’s appearance. This makes it a good choice for large fields that are only mowed occasionally or for more intensive land clearing projects.

Grooming Mowers

For more routine lawn care, a grooming attachment is the most effective for a riding mower. Grooming mowers, also sometimes referred to as finish mowers, use sharp free-swinging blades for lighter cutting work. They’re designed to provide a clean, even look for a lawn that has already been landscaped, offering wide coverage for faster completion of the work.

This makes them ideally suited for giving large lawns a more professional look. Avoid using these mowers in overgrown areas, however, as this will dull or possibly damage the blades.
