For millions of Australians, being out in the open, under the sky, feels like it was in their blood. These green thumbs come in all shapes and sizes, from the very young to the more fragile older people who still love to keep themselves busy maintaining a healthy lawn. However, gardening is quite a physically intensive task, and for those that are more limited due to their physical condition, it can be very disheartening not to be able to do what used to be a quick task. Don't give up hope! There is still a chance for even the frailest person to take an active part in gardening with ride-on mowers.
Ride-On Mowers
Ride-on mowers have grown in popularity as Australia's population has grown and technology has gotten cheaper and more accessible to broader sections of the populace. While they used to be reserved for only large properties like schools, universities and parks, now you will often hear them operating in many a suburban street on the weekends. They come with comfortable seats and are easy to climb on, adjust the blade height and manoeuvre around obstacles. Even if you gave up driving a decade ago, you can still operate ride-on mowers.
More Than Just Mowing The Lawn
While the name seems to imply that all you can do with your ride-on mowers is to trim the lawn, there are many attachments you can get that turn it into a swiss army knife of backyard maintenance. From mulching dead branches and old bark to carts that allow you to easily tow heavy gardening equipment to the far reaches of your garden, there is no task too big or small for ride-on mowers. You can also get safety attachments if you are worried about your ability to control it, including lights and fender guards.
Right For Any Budget
Of course, ride-on mowers are still more expensive than their push counterparts. But, that does not mean they have to be out of reach for you. There are many models from many brands who are always trying to beat each other for the most affordable price point. In addition to that, you can save a ton of money by looking for end of year sales, older models and even second-hand ride-on mowers. If you feel like this is your shot at remaining active in your beloved garden, don't give up because of the cost. Your dream ride on mower is out there and at an affordable price!
