Riding Zero-Turn Lawn Mowers Make Cutting the Grass a Snap

Lindsay ~ 2 June 2007

If you’ve got a big yard, a riding lawn mower is the only way to save time and energy when cutting it. You may already have one, but is it up to snuff on the latest technology? Today, you can get “zero-turn” residential riders that turn on a dime, so you don’t have to make wide sweeping arcs to get pointed in the other direction. They can pivot in a perfect circle and leave no shred of grass uncut.

The i1000 series from Cub Cadet features oddly shaped gears that allow its back wheels to spin independently. When you come to a fence or tree or dog lounging in the sun, this allows you to turn instantly. The front wheels steer as well, so they won’t wobble, and there’s no slippage on steep slopes. The i1000 mowers can also support attachments such as snow plows.

Prices start around $2600.
