Lawnmowers and lawn tractors are fantastic machines. But my nine year old lawn tractor, it has got an annoying problem. When I try to cut a tight circle I end up with this big circle of grass that I cannot get to. I wonder what it would be like to ride one of those new zero turn mowers or maybe one of those four-wheel steer mowers. Wow! Check it out let us try both of them.

The new lawnmowers and lawn tractors that are out there are fantastic because of special steering mechanisms they allow you to cut really tight circles. In some instances, you can actually turn in a zero radius so that there is no grass that is missed. The four wheel steer mower is really cool, notice that when you turn right on the mower, the front wheels go right but the rear wheels turn left. This really feels unusual when you are driving it but it allows you to get around trees and bushes and flower beds with great ease.

The really cool mower is the zero turn mowers. The zero turn mowers have got two hand levers that allow you to go frontward and backwards and make left and right turns. It works just like the skid steer motors that you often see on construction sites. What is great about the zero turn mowers is that you can turn extremely tight circles. In fact you can spin the mower around in place if you want to.

Whatever lawn mowers lawn tractor you decide to buy, make sure you think about it long and hard before you swipe your credit card or write a check. You know why, the zero turn mowers they are single purpose machines, you can only cut grass with them you cannot pull a cart and you cannot plow snow.
