Zero Turn Mower For Lawn Improvement

When it comes to handling a highly leveled lawn, you will surely find the zero-turn lawn mower very efficient and useful for this kind of slopped hill. But, there are some safety aspects that you must take into consideration too.

Zero-turn mowers, of course, are known for their greater agility and speed. However, it has a significant downside. This weakness is inherent in its design. Since it makes use of caster wheels in front of the machine for smooth steering, it can quickly and efficiently move along curbs and challenging areas to navigate. However, when it comes to moving through steep slopes, these wheels are not so much reliable and do not provide enough traction and stability.

You may argue that your zero-turn mower can perfectly handle steep grounds. In fact, my zero-turn mower can also handle up to 15 degrees slant without buckling up. But what I am trying to point out is that zero-turn mower’s caster wheels are not comparable to the wheel stability and traction of the forward-steering mowers. They become quite challenging to maneuver once the slant is beyond 15 degrees. So, before you purchase a zero-turn lawn mower, you should try to figure out if the model you plan to buy is designed to handle steep inclines.
