More From Mom

Our last lawn mower was such a tried and true friend to our grass. We had it for many years and are about to retire it. There are a few things we are looking for in our newest commercial riding mowers. They are:

 

1. Turn radius

 

 I need one of those zero turn radius mowers so that I can mow around all our trees, my garden and my flowers. I love to plant and have trees in the corners of my yard.

 

2. Blade height

 

 

This is important because in the dryer months of the year you want to be able to manually adjust the height so you do not kill your grass. The lack of water is already affecting the grass you definitely don’t want the lawn mower to kill what the lack of water started.

 

3. Must be a riding mower

 

Hey, Jack I’ve mowed in 104* heat in our Tennessee summers. I do not want nor do I plan on doing that again any time soon. We must have a riding mower so that we can knock it out quickly without killing ourselves in the heat.

 

4. Must have headlights

 

You are probably wondering why headlights are necessary. Sometimes I want to wait until it begins to get dark to mow so that it is not as hot as during the heat of the day. With headlights I can mow whenever I want. Many times you can find me mowing at night.

 

So to sum up what we need in a lawn mower:  after pushing a mower in the heat of summer we are ready for a riding mower. I need to know that in the later  months of Fall we can adjust the height so that the grass doesn’t die. We also need it to be a zero radius turning mower so that we can get around all our trees. I must have head lights so that I can mow as the days get later and longer when it is also the cooler time of the day to mow. This is just a few things I’m looking for and hoping I find! What tips can you share with me for picking a new mower?
