Benefits of a Zero-Turn Mower
If you’ve been in the landscaping business for long, you’ll know how prevalent zero-turn mowers have become. With the ability to turn at an effective radius of zero, you’ll save time and effort when dealing with larger lawns and still get the professional quality cut you’re after. Wide cutting decks and high speeds only make these mowers more attractive to lawn care providers.
At Cliff Jones Mahindra Tractor, we know landscapers are after the mowing equipment that’ll help them get their work done faster, more effectively, and with a level of professional presentation that’ll have customers happy. So we’ve put together this short list of benefits you’ll find in a zero-turn mower. Continue reading for more information or head into our Sealy, Texas, location.
High Maneuverability
Zero-turn mowers are great at moving around quickly while still being able to avoid and work around obstacles. This is a great advantage for landscapers working around flower beds, fences, or even buildings, allowing them to get in close for a cut without risking bumping into anything. You won’t have to line up passes across lawns, since you can simply turn into your next pass and line up perfectly with the previous one. Other obstacles like trees and boulders are also easy to get around!
Efficient Mowing
We’ve already pointed out the efficiency benefits when it comes to the zero-turn technology allowing for quick passes, but there are other ways they can increase efficiency.
First are their wide cutting decks, making it even less likely you’ll need to go back and even out missed areas. A wider deck means fewer passes, which saves on time and operational costs.
Second, zero-turn mowers have a bit of extra oomph that can bring them up to a blazing speed of 13 mph! They can’t cut grass effectively when operating at top speeds, but you’ll still be able to take advantage of the boost when you need to get around a work area.
Lower Cost of Operation
A benefit any business owner will appreciate, zero-turn mowers can be less expensive to operate and maintain than less effective commercial styles. Between the money saved in fuel and the lower operation time, you won’t be running the equipment for as long as you would need to for another type. That means less stress and wear on your machine as well.
Utility Options
When you buy a zero-turn mower, you don’t have to miss out on the utility options present in lawn tractors and larger riding models. Zero-turn mowers are often able to handle a bit of towing, whether that be a small implement or something like a utility trailer for hauling additional tools. Your zero-turn mower can become another workhorse for your business, allowing you to haul and carry more around a work site.
Add a mulching kit or clipping collector to increase mowing efficiency, or pick up a snow plow for a bit of extra utility in the winter months. Or, you could upgrade the operational comfort with a canopy to protect against summer sun, baggers that let you dump clippings from your seat, and a variety of other amenities that can make your workers want to spend all their time in the seat of a zero-turn!
Zero-turn mowers are a powerful addition to any landscaping business. They provide professional-quality cuts with ease, upping your game or else cranking up your cutting efficiency.
