The extent of a modern country site can vary from say a hundred square meters up to more extensive areas. When small holdings spread out it takes considerably more efforts to watch over them. You may go 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 equipment. That's where a lawn tractor can help you greatly.



It stands to reason that a yard tractor, even if it is a lawn tractor, requires certain open space for its action. Small holdings may sufficiently decrease its efficiency 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 s 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 wiser would be to get a tractor or a lawn rider.

All lawn tractors can be divided into 3 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

These are chiefly developed for mowing of grass, for lawn and plot works and for snow clearance. They also come with a choice of 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 machines are utilized for grass mowing on the territories not above 1 hectare and for snow clearance. Moreover they can optionally be equipped with brushes for sweeping paths, containers for fertilizers and chemicals as may be essential in your monthly lawn care procedures.

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 tractor could be used as a "ploughman" but it needs to be equipped with the plough. In the autumn this machine effectively copes with fallen leaves with the help of a special nozzle.

Mini-tractor wheels are aimed to produce less pressure on the grass in order to defend the lawn from ruining. Protectors, in their turn, provide good gripping, as a result, a tractor boldly moves both in mud and on a wet grass.

How to decide on a lawn mini-tractor?

When picking out an exacting lawn mini-tractor model the most remarkable thing that should be taken into consideration is the character of your land plot:

- if it is a huge one with lots of knolls, bushes and trees, you'll need a more powerful model with a great volume of petrol tank in order to stay away from refueling every hour or so.

- if your site is not that enormous and trees are planted close up to each other, you'll need a lawn mini-tractor with the least turning radius which is very useful when maneuvering between trees.

In addition I'd like to indicate that the more the engine of the tractor is powerful, the greater is the number of attached mechanisms your tractor can handle.
