Find Your Riding Lawn Mower at Lowe’s
Managing and maintaining large lawns can be daunting without the right lawn equipment. That’s why Lowe’s carries riding lawn mowers to help cut grass in big yards in less time, so you can quickly check this chore off your list.
Choosing the Right Mower for the Job
Riding mowers aren’t one size fits all. Lawn size and finding a mower with a suitable cutting width play a part in what will work best for you. A mower’s cutting deck determines how many passes it’ll take to mow the grass, so match the deck size to your acreage for a speedier cut. If you’re working with smaller yards up to 2 acres, look for options in the 30-inch to 52-inch deck range. 2- to 4-acre yards will benefit from 50-inch decks to 54-inch decks, and anything over 5 acres will need 60 inches or more. You can find both large and small riding lawn mowers to tackle any size yard from brands like John Deere riding mowers and CRAFTSMAN riding mowers.
On average, a riding mower typically costs about $2,000. But the cost depends on factors like the size of your lawn, the type of riding mower you need and the size of the mower itself, which is determined by the cut width. Generally, a riding mower for a small lawn will be less expensive than one needed for a larger lawn. Lowe’s carries an assortment of mowers in various price ranges, making it easy to select the right mower for your needs and budget.
Types of Riding Mowers
Gas riding lawn mowers feature the traditional riding design we’re familiar with and operate similarly to a car, using a steering wheel and foot pedal. You can add attachments to these to help tackle other maintenance tasks. If your property has lots of obstacles, consider zero-turn riding lawn mowers. These operate with lap bars or levers and can make quick, narrow turns that allow you to nimbly navigate around flower beds, trees and other landscape features. Want an alternative to the maintenance of a gas mower? Electric riding lawn mowers are battery-powered machines that give you a pristine lawn without the hassle of fuel, still providing the power you need to cut large areas.
Other factors to think about include the mower’s transmission, which can be manual, automatic or hydrostatic, engine horsepower for power output to the mower components, and engine displacement for determining how powerful the engine is. If you have tall or thick grass, look for a mower with a higher engine torque. You’ll also want to consider clipping disposal, so look for capabilities like mulching and bagging.
Lowe’s sells a variety of accessories and attachments to make yardwork even easier, including baggers, mulching kits, canopies for sun protection and more. We also have an assortment of riding lawn mower parts available for your maintenance and repair needs.
The best riding lawn mower for you ultimately depends on your yard size, your needs and personal preference. Lowe’s has a wide selection of trusted mower brands, including top-rated brands such as Husqvarna, Ariens and EGO.
