| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses riding lawn mowers, stating that "models come in three styles: lawn tractor, garden tractor, and zero-turn radius mower. Each type serves certain yards best." Suggests that "the type of yard [one has] and the work [they] plan to do with [a] rider should dictate what [they] ultimately end up buying." Explains that "in general, mower operation has become more intuitive. Electronic key-start ignitions mimic the ease of starting a car. Electric blade engagement is replacing manual levers, and it doesn't take a farming background to figure out how to use the power take-off (PTO) for landscaping attachments." Briefly profiles the Troy-Bilt Horse Lawn Tractor, stating that it "features cruise control, an electric PTO, and a cup holder," combining "safety with luxury." Concludes to "determine any other tasks in which [one] may use power equipment" before shopping, stating that "depending on where [one will] be parking [a] tractor, consolidating machinery may be a must." |
