Which Mower Is right for me?
This table shows John Deere's recommendation as to which range of ride on mower, suits what size lawn. |
What size mower deck is right for me?
A bigger deck will get the job done quicker. This not only saves you time, but also means the mower will last you longer.
eg; A mower with a 38" deck clocks up 1,000 hours. The same mower, with a 48" deck, doing the same job, would only have clocked up 790 hours. This means less wear and tear on the machine (which saves you money), and the mower will last longer.
Where possible, get the biggest deck that is practical for your application. |
