Abstract/Contents:Discusses potential methods of choosing the "type of mower best-suited to [one's] specific needs." Suggests determining "how and where the unit will be used"; "the size of the engine unit [required] to do the job"; and "operating terrain." Mentions that "clipping collection is another point to consider. A number of riding rotary mowers feature optional grass catchers. This feature is valuable as long as [one has] a place to dispose of the gathered clippings." Suggests to "ask other sports turf managers about their riding rotary mowers" and "ask the dealer in [one's] area for referrals, and use them to gather knowledge." Concludes that "the few hours [one spends] researching before...[buying] can amount to months and even years of riding rotary mower performance and productivity."
