While most people are at least passingly familiar with the standard push mower, not as many have used a zero-turn mower. These unique mowers offer numerous advantages and are popular with landscapers and homeowners with large lawns. If you need help deciding if a zero-turn mower is for you, read this guide created by the experts at Uvalco Powersports & Equipment.

1. Greater Control and Maneuverability

One of the biggest advantages that zero-turn mowers have is that they offer greater control and mobility than your standard mower.  While other mower types struggle to make tight turns and navigate obstacles, these kinds of maneuvers are no challenge to a zero-turn mower. This means less risk of damaging the landscape and less missed patches of grass. 

2. Faster Cutting Speeds

Another area in which zero-turn mowers excel is speed. Unlike other types of mower, zero-turn mowers have two independent drive wheels. These drive wheels allow the mower to achieve greater speeds without losing traction. This makes zero-turn mowers perfect for those with a lot of grass to mow or who otherwise want to get their mowing done quickly. 

3. Superior Cutting Quality

Sometimes speed comes at the expense of quality, but that is not the case with zero-turn mowers. Besides making them fast, the independent drive wheels found on zero-turn mowers also allow the mower to maintain a consistent speed even when turning. This results in a cleaner and more even cut than you get with standard push mowers.
