Zero-Turn Lawn Mowers

Zero Turn Mower FAQs

What is a zero turn mower?

A zero turn lawn mower is a ride on that’s packed with power and efficiency. These smooth rides get their name from their ability to manoeuvre on the go. Forget turning circles—with a zero turning radius you can spin on the spot seamlessly, dodging obstacles to go forward, backward, or full circle.

Your zero turn ride on mower won’t have a steering wheel either. Instead, you’ll find two steering levers to help you glide through your mowing chores. A superior model will have adjustable seat heights and armrests for maximum comfort.

What is a good zero turn mower to buy?

These mowers are an investment, so you’ll want to look for a quality brand that’ll last for years to come.

The best zero turn mower in Australia is a toss-up between Victa, Husqvarna, and EGO. Choosing a reputable brand will give you the peace of mind that you’ll have fewer breakdowns and less maintenance to keep on top of.

The right model for you will depend on your budget and your mowing needs. First, you’ll need to decide whether you want battery powered or petrol. If you do want to go electric, make sure you have enough charge to cover your entire lawn.

A good zero turn mower will also have adjustable cutting lengths. Look for a model with settings between 25mm and 100mm.

How to start zero turn mowers

Operating instructions can vary between models so it’s important to double-check your user manual.

However, here’s a quick rundown of the most common startup steps:

• Place your foot on the parking brake
• Separate the steering levers
• Check the PTO (Power Take-Off button) is off
• Use the choke (cold starts only)
• Turn the key to start the engine

Remember, safety should be a priority. Your zero turn mower may seem invincible but they do have limits. Avoid driving over muddy patches, water and steep hills. Leg protection, covered shoes, safety glasses and earmuffs are also must-haves for a safe mowing experience.
