How to choose the right lawn tractor or miniride |
Choose a product with wider wheels and a powerful engine for a hilly or sloping ground. Our pendulous suspended cutting deck is excellent for larger and uneven lawn areas as it can easily adapt to the ground.
The size of the lawn area is one of the key factors for choosing the right product. To determine the appropriate working width, please use the chart below or use the symbol you can find beneath every MINIRIDER and lawn tractor.
To achieve a professional, perfect cut, the grass clippings can be bagged and composted separately. On all models with rear discharge, the grass catcher can be emptied comfortably from the driver’s seat.
The clippings can be discharged with the aid of a deflector. This is particularly recommendable when the grass can be left on the ground.
Mulching has the advantage that the soil is fertilised with the grass clippings. In this way the clippings with their nutrients can ideally be used as natural fertiliser. Mulching is recommendable in the dry summer months to prevent the lawn from drying out. Almost all models can be equipped with an additional mulching kit.
Shift-on-the-go. The Transmatic transmission allows for continuously variable shifting. Choose your basic speed by moving the speed shift lever and start mowing. By smoothly pressing on the brake pedal, you can slow down your speed and speed up again without having to change gears, simply by releasing the brake pedal. Then the tractor automatically resumes your preset speed.
The hydrostatic transmission allows for smoothly and precise manoeuvring. On our tractors with rear discharge, you can control velocity as well as the infinitely variable forward and reverse speed by the tilt foot pedal. Thus, you can leave both hands at the steering wheel, there is no need to operate a clutch or to shift gear. On our tractors with side discharge, the drive can be handled very comfortably by manual lever and a clutch / brake pedal on the left hand side.
