So, you are considering upgrading your old push mower to a ride on mower in Marsden, but you are not sure what to buy. We stock nine different models of ride on mowers, each with different features and capabilities. These ride on mowers range from smaller home mowers to powerful commercial machines that are perfect for all-day commercial cutting.
Ride on mowers come in three basic types. First, there are the smaller ride on mowers like the Rover Micro Rider that are “sit on top” mowers with a steering wheel. The next level mowers are configured more like a garden tractor and have larger engines and greater adaptability. For example, the Rover Raider 17/42 Ride On.
The highest level of ride on mower is the dual transmission design. They have dual handles that are arranged near the operator’s lap and are used to steer the unit. Each handle controls the drive train to the rear wheel on that side of the mower. You push both handles forward to go full speed straight ahead, and one handle further forward to turn. If you push one handle all the way forward and the other handle all the way back, the mower will essentially pivot in place which is why some of these units are referred to as “zero turn” capable. A good example of this is the Rover RZT 50” Zero Turn, which is a very popular model of ride on mower in Marsden.
