Riding lawn mower with tank steering: mowing the lawn faster without a steering wheel?

For large areas, ride-on lawn mowers are recommended. Zero-turn mowers are currently trending. What do they do better than a lawn tractor?

Zero-Turn mowers are a trend originating from the USA. Since Ariens Co acquired the high-grass specialist AS-Motor, the market has seen an increase in Zero-Turn mowers. One notable feature is the steering system operated by two levers, resembling that of a tank, with no steering wheel in sight. The operator sits on the rear axle, with the cutting deck positioned beneath their legs, providing excellent visibility while mowing.

Another significant feature is the ability of Zero-Turn mowers to pivot on the spot, as the name suggests. agrarheute conducted a test on the Apex 48 model with a 122 cm wide cutting deck and was pleasantly surprised. The steering using two levers is quick and enjoyable, almost making mowing feel secondary. But don't just take our word for it, see for yourself.
