Zero Turn Lawn Mowers For Sale in Canada

About Zero-Turn Mowers

Although zero-turn mowers (also referred to as “ZTRs” and “zero-turn radius mowers”) are generally thought to offer less-stable performance on hills compared to riding lawn mowers, they are the ideal mower choice for covering large, predominately flat yards and open spaces. Sporting rear-engine designs and wide cutting decks that can measure 107 to 137 centimetres (42 to 54 inches) wide or more, zero-turn mowers have traditionally been the go-to choice for commercial turf management operations, although numerous consumer ZTR mowers are available, as well. Further, sales of consumer zero-turn models are reportedly rapidly closing the gap with riding mowers, which are designed for use a couple times a week. Conversely, the superior power and construction of zero-turn mowers’ frames and components make them suitable for daily use.

Zero-Turn Mower Characteristics

Although a small number of zero-turn mowers provide a steering wheel for navigation purposes, the majority use twin steer levers, bars, or pedals to control navigation. Combined with two pivoting front wheels, the lever-steering approach lets ZTR mowers turn on a dime, giving them greater maneuverability to mow around trees, bushes, flowerbeds, and other obstacles. Comparable in size to lawn or garden tractors, zero-turn mowers offer more powerful engines, generally falling into the 20- to 30-horsepower (15- to 22-kilowatt) range, which makes them faster than riding lawn mowers (roughly 13 km/h vs. 6 to 8 km/h). In fact, some experts claim that zero-turn mowers can mow a lawn in half as much time as a riding lawn mower or less.

ZTR mowers are generally more expensive than other mower types, despite not being considered as versatile as lawn and garden tractors that can use various attachments to tackle a wider range of tasks.

Common Features

In addition to larger fuel tanks that allow for longer uninterrupted use, zero-turn mowers can variously include wash-out ports, intelligent braking systems, vibration-reducing designs, mobile device and app connectivity for monitoring maintenance status, and easily adjustable cutting heights.
