The Right Mower For Your Yard

It doesn’t matter if you mow for profit or just to keep your property looking tidy—you’re going to need a lawn mower. We here at Southern Trailer Works want to help you get the right tool for the job, though, so we’ve put together a brief guide to buying the right mower for your lawn.

Small - Medium Yards

If the lawn in question is smaller, you’re probably going to prefer something more affordable that can work well in confined areas. In many cases that means a manual push power, the smallest kind there is. However, if you have a lot of slopes, you may want to invest in the slightly larger self-propelled mower, which can make mowing easier on your arms and back.

Large Yards

Larger yards that would take too long with a smaller mower may benefit from a riding mower, though a self-propelled model may work if you’re willing to walk behind it. Riding mowers can handle more grass at once, steep slopes, and can move around 10 mph.

Large & Complex Yards

However, if your yard is big and has a lot of obstacles or odd angles, you may need a zero-turn mower. As the name suggests, these riding mowers can turn on a dime, helping you get all the hard-to-reach grass. Just don’t try them on any steep slopes! Their heightened agility comes at the cost of stability on an incline.
