Improving specifications for ride-on mowers: Maureen Keepin reports on the key buying trends and latest developments in ride-on mowers

摘要

Manufacturers indicate sustained growth in ride-on mowers with a demand from users for higher horsepower machines to give increased output. Challenges for those involved in producing these vehicles continue, with UK consumers making ever-increasing demands on high presentation standards on sports and amenity surfaces. There are two major divisions within the ride-on mower sector - the cylinder and the rotary mower. Cylinder mowers produce a fine-turf finish through a multiple cut and are ideal for regularly mown sites. Manufacturers of rotary ride-ons have focused on quality of cut to help bridge the gap between these and cylinders.
