Which Lawn Mower is Right for You?
STEP 1 OF 4: MOWING AREA
Approximately how large is the area that you are mowing? 
The size of your property has an impact on what features you will want and how much horsepower you’ll need. Mowers with larger cutting widths and more horsepower generally allow you to finish faster. Smaller mowers generally allow you to work in areas with limited access such as backyards obstructed by narrow gates that larger mowers cannot pass through.
STEP 2 OF 4: CHOOSE CUTTING WIDTH
Which mower deck size would you prefer?
Large mower decks generally allow you to finish faster. Smaller mower decks generally offer more agility for mowing smaller properties. Just be sure your gates, access routes and equipment storage areas are wide enough to accommodate the overall mower deck width which is normally several inches wider than the mowing width.
STEP 4 OF 4: CHOOSE PROPERTY CARE
Besides mowing, how do you plan to use your equipment?
Most mowers can perform a wide variety of tasks when combined with the right attachment. Different tasks require different attachments. Select the tasks that you want to perform.
