Ride on lawn mowers can be great fun for the enthusiastic lawn maintainer. Generally, they are not needed for small plots of land that can be effectively mowed with a standard push mower; but if the property that needs mowing is over half an acre, it is a worthwhile investment for your gardening needs.
Harvey MacKay has an interesting quote that has merit here: "Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back." It might be a bit deep when discussing the effectiveness of lawn mowers, but it holds true. Time is a priceless commodity that we waste all too often. A job that would often take minutes, takes hours using a different method.
A ride on lawn mower can start and finish the job without having you resent your lawn for needing to be cut. These machines save time in many more ways than one. They are not just faster, they also have a larger and stronger blade, sometimes two. They also have a number of attachments that can make other lawn maintenance jobs a piece of cake.
Rollers, for example, can be attached to a ride on mower to deposit grass seed that would otherwise be spread unevenly by hand. Besides cutting your grass, you can do this at the same time. Alternatively, a useful gadget to attach is a spreader, which is used to evenly distribute fertilizer over the grass for added nutrients in the spring. Many modern sit-and-ride mowers even have cup holders, for the truly comfortable maintenance pro.
Have you ever noticed the beauty of a freshly cut football field, or a soft and smooth putting green? This work can only be achieved by a ride on lawn mower.
