ii). Size

Riding mowers are available in different sizes. From compact to large machines there are a variety of sizes made by every manufacturer. However, larger size means the cutting width which is the deck of the machine is large.

Additionally, the small machines come with a mini-deck which is capable to mow the small size garden easily and take time to mow large areas.

Moreover, choosing the right size mainly depends on the lawn area. The higher the area, the larger deck will be required to mow the garden without wasting time and vice versa.

Furthermore choosing the larger mower for the mini garden is not a wise decision and will create trouble for you.

 One has to keep in mind one thing more, that if your property is large but having too many obstacles including trees, plants, gates, fence then go for the mower with compact size. In this case, the large riding mower will put you in hassle.

The next factor to consider while buying the best riding mower is the type that you need for your lawn. One has to check the garden condition before buying the lawnmower.

Whether your lawn is flat or having a steep path, both required different mowers. Those having flat lawns go for the mower with the zero-turn radius feature or the one which considers as the large lawn tractor. 

However, those having steep or sloping hills with uneven patches go for the riding mower with a wide stance, high traction, self-propelled option, and minimum center of gravity. 

There are multiple mowers made by renowned manufacturers for all kinds of paths. So select the one according to your garden path.

The other main factor to consider is the power source of the mower. The engine is necessary to move the mower efficiently. Some mowers are electrical ones with the power source of electricity, while others run on gas, petrol, batteries.

vi). Cutting Width

It is another main feature that plays a role in mowing. One has to check the cutting width of the mower before buying.
