Choosing the right machine
The Right Mower Starts With the Right Advice
Buying a ride-on mower is a significant investment, and the right machine depends on much more than the size of the engine. The size and shape of your property, terrain, grass conditions, mowing frequency, desired finish and the amount of time you want to spend mowing all influence which mower makes sense.
Our team can help you work through those considerations and compare the options available from our leading mower brands. Whether you’re maintaining a residential section, lifestyle block, rural property or commercial site, we’ll help you focus on the machines that fit your requirements.
Mower types
Which Type of Ride-On Mower Do You Need?
Different properties call for different mowing solutions. Understanding the main mower types is a good place to start.
Zero-Turn Mowers
Designed for efficient mowing and excellent manoeuvrability. Zero-turn mowers can be particularly useful on larger properties or areas with obstacles, trees and garden beds where turning space matters.
Commercial Mowers
Built for demanding mowing applications and frequent use. Commercial machines are designed for operators who need productivity, durability and efficient mowing across larger areas.
Robotic Mowers
Automated mowing for customers who want a well-maintained lawn with less time spent behind the mower. Robotic mowers can be programmed to mow regularly and quietly, making them an option where convenience and consistent mowing are priorities.

Common questions
Ride-On Mower Questions
What size ride-on mower do I need?
The right mower size depends on your property size, terrain, mowing conditions, obstacles and how quickly you want to complete the job. Rather than choosing purely by lawn size, talk to our team about the property and we can help you compare suitable options.
What is the difference between a lawn tractor and a zero-turn mower?
Lawn tractors are versatile general-purpose machines, while zero-turn mowers are designed for high manoeuvrability and efficient mowing. The better option depends on your property layout, terrain, mowing requirements and preferences.
Are ride-on mowers suitable for lifestyle blocks?
Yes. Ride-on mowers can be well suited to lifestyle blocks, but the ideal machine depends on the size and terrain of the property, grass conditions and how frequently you mow.
