How to Find Good Commercial Lawn Mowers

There are many brands of commercial lawn mowers available, and some are more widely used by contractors than others. There are a number of areas that you should examine closely when you decide what mower is right for your company.
  • Safety
  • Productivity
  • Cut quality
  • Durability
  • Operator comfort
  • Serviceability
Some commercial lawn mowers share similarities that include cut heights and widths, and engines. Each mower, however, also has unique features that set it apart from the others in some of the areas above.

Some of the best zero turn commercial lawn mowers are designed specifically for producing efficient handling, traction and cutting speed. Also, look for mowers that have a discharge opening that is sufficiently wide.

Mowers that are not comfortable to use will not win you any awards from lawn care workers. Lightweight models are easier to use. Mowers with low maintenance requirements will offer more usage time with less downtime for repairs.

Stand-up decks on landscape maintenance equipment will simplify maintenance under the mowing deck, including blade cleaning or changing. You may select a mower with the option to stand the deck up electrically or to adjust the height for cutting with a simple push of a button.

Lawn maintenance workers will appreciate the ergonomic comfort of commercial mowers. More work can be completed if the mowers you choose have longer and cooler operation time. In addition, a frame that is shorter than the industry average will allow for easy portability and faster, tighter turns.

Stability is important in all commercial power equipment for landscaping. Putting the engine lower will give a mower more overall stability. The most functional mowers are equipped with rear wheels that move forward as well as backward, to provide better balance.
