The Zero Turn Lawn Mower, The Bently of Mowers

By far this machine is the creme de la creme. A Zero Turn Riding lawn mower can also set ya back a pretty penny but rave reviews say it's worth it. Among the all star favorites would be the John Deere Riding lawn mower followed closely by Snapper, Swisher and the Toro Time Cutter riding lawn mowers.

Zero Turn Riding lawn mowers get their name from having the turning radius be zero inches.

The design of Zero Turn Riding lawn mowers makes it so that they can cut extremely close around any obstical making the need to trim seem obsolete. It can pivot through 180 degrees leaving no uncut grass.

Steering for the zero turn lawn mowers is basically speed changing of the drive tires.

There are two levers that controll the tire speed. These levers extend out on either side of the driver. To make zero turn Riding lawn mowers move forward, both levers need to be pushed forward at the same time. To make the lawn mower move backwards, both levers, with the same force, are pushed back at the same time.

Rather than having the tires controll the steering of the zero turn lawn mowers, the drive tires speed rotation will create a difference to move one side faster than the other.

If sporting a new zero turn lawn mower is a little more than you are willing to bargain for, you can get amazing deals on  used lawn mowers that are just as powerful and about half the price
