Hi,

I willl appreciate if someone can point me to articles or consumer reviews
about ride-on-mowers? Should I go for higher (20-30) horsepower but medium
(42") cutting deck? or other way? My lawn is about 1/5 of an acre with
little slope. Is bagging attachement sin these mowers/tractors are effective
without choking the mower or the duct? My current walk-behing mower gets
choked if the grass is little tall or a bit wet.

Thanks in advance.

1/5 of an acre? .20 acre? Just get a better walk behind. Your lawn is really
too small for a rider in my opinion. If you can get a walk behind with a
larger HP engine it will bog less but be heavier so also get self propelled.
If you get a self propelled get one with an adjustable speed. Mine is single
speed and it slows me down. I would think that a rider would take just as
long as a push on such a small lawn.

Also - Mow more frequently, you are gutting off less grass. Its better for
the lawn and the mower.

Also - Its good exercise.

BTW - My lawn is same size.

Visit local library. Look for consumer reports magazine.

Also - Mow more frequently, you are gutting off less grass. Its better for

Normally I cut my lawn every other week with a oro Recycler - Self Propelled
walk behind mower. This summer I am travelling a lot and I cannt keep up
with the schedule. Also my lawn is on a slope, which make it harder to mow.

Now I have two options either to hire someone to do the job, or have a
rideon mower and move it every 3 or 4th week.

TIA
