How To Buy A Lawn Tractor

By Eddie Simms

Lawn tractors are generally tiny tractors intended for farm work up to two acres. There are a number of attachments to the tractor, which can reduce your manual work quite considerably. This could help you employ your available time effectively in maintaining your garden in trim condition all year round. Lawn tractors are flexible items of kit. They can do a lot of roles like cutting, ploughing, lawn rolling, lamp post hole digging, and masses of other roles that need to be done around the farm or home.

These roles are made possible thru their power take off shaft. This makes lawn tractors one of the gardener's very best pals.

Purchasing a lawn tractor is much like buying a car. The cost of a second user model is much less even if there's little more wear than being driven out from the show room floor.

Consider the tractor you are purchasing very conscientiously. It is sometimes recommended that you try the tractor for yourself and get an idea about the time required in attaching and detaching the various accessories. Test-drive the tractor, and try and get a feel of getting out and in of tractor. Just taking it for a test spin, does not imply you have to get it there and then. Resist the pressure, and consider your options carefully.

The basic model available is a Bolen 762F76, and the John Deere Spin-Steer SST-16 is available, albeit at a higher price bracket. The Poulan Pro PK185H42ST is between these two in both price and quality.

Remember this is just the price of tractor alone without accessories. Accessories can include lots of different pieces. Just to begin with you can have a cover, a grass collection bag, large and small carts, and much, much more, all of which can add to the price, making it even more important to get a fantastic price at the start. If you are going to use your tractor solely for lawn cropping, and you have a little farm of one or two acres, you'll have a glance at the stand-behind mower instead of going for a full on lawn tractor. All the same, look around and in this economy you need to be able to find some real bargains if you look around. - 31813
