Which Mower is Best For You? 

With all the different models and mower brands out there, it can get overwhelming to choose the best one for you. There are many factors to consider, such as lawn size, mower deck size, model preferences, and more. The experts at James River Equipment are here to help make that choice a little easier by providing suggestions for some of John Deere’s best mowers. If you ever have any questions or want to see our available mowers, feel free to stop by any of our locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. 

Zero Turn Vs. Riding Mower

When shopping for your next mower, it is important to decide whether you want a zero-turn or a riding mower. Both types have benefits, and it's mainly up to your specific needs to determine the best type for your lawn. Riding mowers are more affordable than ZTrak series and are an excellent option for small to medium-sized lawns. They are also regarded as the more versatile option, accommodating different attachments like a utility cart or seeder to help with landscaping. Zero-turn mowers are the premium choice for landscaping professionals and those with larger yards. Their faster mowing speeds and incredible maneuverability allow lawn care to be done quickly. However, this added benefit tends to come at a higher price. Whatever type of mower you choose, James River Equipment is here to find the model that is suitable for you.
