For most homeowners in the United States, the classic rotary lawn mower is more than enough for them to get their yard looking picture perfect. However, there are some homeowners who have yards that, simply put, are far too big for them to cut with the conventional rotary motor. Back in the day, before the advent of the mechanical lawn mower, homeowners who had lots of land on their property turned to nature's creatures to keep their grass nice and tidy. By letting their livestock graze on their land, property owners would keep their animals well fed while keeping their lawns looking presentable, with only minimal effort required to clean up any messes left by the animals. However, in this new day and age, there is a far easier and much cleaner option to livestock: the riding mower.
The riding lawn mower is an especially popular device with farmers and owners of large chunks of land that require mowing. The most popular of these riding mowers, as well as one of the oldest models of riding lawn mowers is the lawn tractor. Taking several design cues from its unofficial older brother, the classic farm tractor, this particular mower has survived for nearly fifty years.
The other overtly popular model of riding mower is what is known as the "z-turn" type. Like the riding mower, the Z-Type has the blades between the front and rear wheels, and has a seat. That's really about it as far as similarities go. Once you can get used to the driving style of the dual levers to control your turning, people who use the Z-Type of lawn mower swear by it for its ability to make sharp turns and cut around trees and bushes.
You may also want to take note that most riding lawn mowers are also able to be outfitted with snowplows, snowblowers, vacuums, and a bevy of other lawn care items.
