The size of a modern country site can vary from say a hundred square meters up to more large areas. When small holdings spread out it takes considerably more efforts to look after them. You may keep on working in an old-fashioned manner using a raker, a chopper and a shovel. But the same can be done with the help of modern and powerful gardening technical gear. That's where a lawn tractor can help you greatly.
A yard tractor, even if it is a lawn tractor, needs some breathing space for its acting. Small holdings may sufficiently diminish its production and would make it look like a tiger in the cage. Medium-sized plots would also be unfriendly to a lawn tractor - owing such plots it is more preferable to use lawn-mowers and mechanical trimmers. But if your land plot is estimated in tens hundred square meters or in hectares, it is more desirable to get a tractor or a lawn rider.
All lawn tractors can be split into three groups - multipurpose, garden and compact:
Multipurpose Tractors
The following kind of tractor is used on a spot exceeding 2 hectares: either on farmhouse lands or on specialized athletic fields as well as on the farmlands. The word multipurpose means that this is an awfully powerful piece of gear with lots of diverse nozzles that go with tractor in a kit form.
Garden Tractors
The following tractors are largely developed for mowing of grass, for lawn and garden works and for snow clearance. They also come with various nozzles which allow executing the following works: turning up the soil, disk harrowing, milling, harrowing and other works associated with the soil. Such tractors are fit for work on land plots of 1-2 hectares.
Lawn Rider
These devices are used for grass mowing on the areas not above one hectare and for snow clearance. Also they can optionally be supplied with brushes for sweeping paths, containers for fertilizers and chemicals as may be vital in your monthly lawn care practices.
What mini lawn tractors can make for you?
The primary goal of any lawn tractor is grass mowing. Therefore by means of any tractor making yourself cosy in a convenient seat, it is likely to make an first-class lawn. In order to pass up collection of mowed grass by hands, tractors are equipped with special grass storage tanks with a size up to 300 liters.
Mini lawn tractors can be used as a "ploughman" but it must be equipped with the plough. In the autumn this gear productively deals with fallen leaves with the help of a special nozzle.
Lawn mini-tractor wheels are designed to bring minimal pressure on the grass in order to safeguard the lawn from ruining. Protectors, in their turn, provide good gripping, therefore, a tractor confidently moves both in mud and on a wet grass.
How to decide on a lawn mini-tractor?
When deciding on a particular lawn mini-tractor model the most important thing that should be taken into consideration is the character of your land plot:
- if it is a enormous one with lots of knolls, bushes and trees, you'll require a more powerful kind with a considerable amount of petrol tank in order to stay away from refueling every hour or so.
- if your plot is not that big and trees are planted close to each other, you'll need a lawn mini-tractor with the least turning radius which is very helpful when maneuvering between trees.
Moreover I'd like to remark that the more the engine of the tractor is powerful, the superior is the amount of attached devices your tractor can handle.
