Finding the correct type of ride-on mower for your garden will usually depend on the engine’s location.
Rear engine: Motors at the back are typically less powerful and suitable for mowing areas smaller than one hectare. Yet these models, such as riders and front rotors, are often better at manoeuvring and ideal for narrower areas and more precise mowing.
Front engine: Having the engine at the front, like on garden tractors, equals more power. These are better equipped for large areas and handling rougher terrain.
