Whether you are getting on in years or simply don't like to walk behind a mower, you can improve your ability to take care of your yard with riding lawn mowers. For people who may have knee problems, your only option may seem to hire the neighbor boy to take care of your lawn for you. While this is a viable option, with riding lawn mowers you can still enjoy being out of doors and doing the job yourself. Riding lawn mowers mean that you no longer have to walk for long periods of time to get the job done. There are many options and types of riding lawn mowers that are available, and you will want to think about what your needs are before just going out to buy one. Depending on the size and type of lawn you have, you may need a smaller cutting deck size for a busy lawn or a larger cutting deck size for a lawn that is basically straight and smooth. If your yard comes with its own set of ups and downs or rough terrain, you may want to make sure you look at riding lawn mowers with multiple speeds that allow you to make adjustments for the different parts of your lawn. Another great option is a blade height adjustment that you can easily access so that you can raise and lower it for the different areas of your yard. Other features of riding lawn mowers that are probably important to you are the power and performance of the machine. Overhead valve design, twin cylinders can give better efficiency, smoother operation, and faster reaction times. You will also want to determine whether you prefer manual or automatic transmission in riding lawn mowers. If you always like to be on top of your fuel situation when using gas riding lawn mowers, you may like the transparent gas tank model. This allows you to actually see your fuel levels. Other models have gauges that show fuel levels and may even tell you how many hours you have operated your machine since your last service call. Safety is often a top priority for most homeowners, so you will want to look at the different safety features on the different riding lawn mowers. For instance, you will probably want to choose a model that includes some type of safeguard that must be adjusted or moved in order to mow in reverse so that you will always remember to check behind you for obstacles such as pets. Some riding lawn mowers come with an option that stops the blade from spinning if the driver stands up. For the sake of safety, you should wear ear plugs while operating, and always clear the yard of visible debris. If you love to walk behind your mower in order to get plenty of exercise during the summer, then that is great, but if you are ready to make a change, you should look at the many different options available in riding lawn mowers.
