| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses compact mowers, explaining that "there's no universal standard for what classifies a mower as a compact, but there are a number of generalizations. For example, mowers with decks under 40 inches are usually classified as compacts." Presents potential factors to consider when purchasing a mower, including that "the design of smaller deck machines gives operators the ability to fit through small gates and have access to fenced-in areas"; "compact riders are roughly the same size, weight and cost versus a comparable hydro walk-behind unit"; "increased riding mower productivity results in increased revenues and profit versus a walk-behind"; and "improved employee comfort and moral." Concludes that "key purchase consideration with a compact rider will be the terrain of the properties [one maintains]." |
