Riding mowers: What you can do with a lawn tractor vs a lawn mower

Riding lawn mowers can be an excellent investment for homeowners with large lawns. They are more expensive than push mowers, but they can save a lot of time and effort, especially if you have a lot of ground to cover. Riding mowers also tend to be more powerful than their push counterparts, making them better suited for dealing with tough grass and weeds. If you have the budget, a riding mower can be a great addition to your lawn care arsenal. However, if you have a small lawn or live in an urban area, a riding mower may not be worth the extra cost. Ultimately, whether or not to buy a riding mower depends on your individual needs and situation.
