How to Choose the Best Zero Turn Mower

Now that you have narrowed your focus to zero turn mowers, let's take a look at the different types to understand which one is best for you. There are different advantages for each, so read below and ask yourself, "Is this the right type of zero turn mower for me?"

Residential Zero Turn Mowers

Residential Zero Turn Mowers

Residential zero turn mowers are an affordable option for the person who wants a zero turn to cut their own yard every week. They are definitely an upgrade over a tractor in the speed and agility departments. If you have less than 2 acres to mow weekly, a residential zero turn mower is for you.

The size of the property you mow will determine the size of the cutting deck you need. A larger property will warrant a larger deck to speed up mowing time and cut down on wear and tear. You may feel like mowing all day when you jump on your zero turn, but a residential zero turn isn't built for it. That's what prosumer and commercial mowers are for.

Prosumer Zero Turn Mowers

Prosumer Zero Turn Mowers

Prosumer zero turn mowers have many of the heavy duty features of a commercial zero turn but at a reduced cost. More powerful engines, thicker welded decks, wider cutting widths, bigger back wheels, and larger gas tanks are features that separate a prosumer zero turn from a residential model.

Prosumer zero turn mowers are a great option for the homeowner with a large property or for the professional landscaper on a budget. These mowers can cut for extended periods of time due to their higher quality engines and three blade cutting systems.

The ride of a prosumer zero turn mower will be better due to larger rear wheels, better built seats, better suspensions, and options like cruise control. You can literally feel the difference between a residential and prosumer zero turn mower.

Commercial Zero Turn Mowers

Commercial Zero Turn Mowers

Commercial zero turn mowers are for landscaping professionals who will be mowing every day. Their high performance engines and heavy duty parts help you mow longer with less wear and tear. Commercial zero turn mowers will also help you finish quickly so you can get to your next job.

Commercial zero turn mowers tend to have a stouter stance and are sturdier than a prosumer model. You won't find any plastic parts on a commercial model either and there is usually a more robust air intake for the engine.

The jarring that a zero turn takes going over bumpy ground can take a toll on your machine and its engine. No matter how well landscaped a yard is, it is not a paved surface, and will definitely have bumps. A commercial zero turn mower is built to hold up significantly longer than a prosumer model.

While the initial cost of a commercial zero turn mower may turn some landscapers away, the time saving features and the professional grade construction and durability make up for it. Also, the much larger gas tanks of these mowers will allow you to cut up to 5 acres of grass before refueling.

Commercial zero turn mowers also have added ergonomic features that make extended cutting more manageable. A comfortable ride and ease of use will make the time pass by quickly. A commercial zero turn mower is a top of the line mower, and they show it in every way.
