| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles front-cut riding mowers, stating that they "consume a modest percentage of the mower market. But sales in this sector climbed while other categories slipped in the beginning of 2007." States that "industry trends give landscape contractors reason to consider these hearty machines. As municipalities and schools outsource landscape services, contractors who win these jobs need heavier-duty equipment." Also states that "front-cut mowers can accommodate a collection of attachments, manage large mowing jobs and handle slopes and rough terrain with ease." Describes technical aspects of front-cut mowers, stating that "operators can enjoy the maneuverability of a zero-turn along with out-front deck advantages, including better traction on slopes, a smoother ride on rough terrain and versatility with an array of attachments. Also, landscape contractors whose jobsites require tedious trimming can knock out this task with one pass of an out-front rider." Explains that "if a job calls for more than just mowing, a front-cut configuration can serve as a single-machine solution." |
