A regularly mowed lawn grows back much more densely.

Now it’s time for the lawn. But how? Anyway, let’s leave the cable out. Riding mowers, battery-powered models and robots are much more fun anyway. Even if they need some maintenance.
In spring, autumn catches up with garden lovers. He put the old mower back in the basement and forgot or pushed aside that the cable bothered him every time. It should have been a long time since a new one. But which one? It should be motor-driven and in any case have no cable. The answer of the child in the man can only be: A ride-on mower is needed, professionally called a lawn tractor. It’s petrol-driven and tends to look a little oversized in the urban garden – although the attempt to come up with arguments becomes more urgent with each passing year. There are workarounds.

You can buy a plot of land in a rural area and combine your play instinct with the useful, because the ride-on mower has a lot of power, sometimes two blades, and gets just about everything small. Or you become a groundskeeper in a tennis club or football club, there is always something to mow, to pull, to push. Manufacturers such as John Deere or Honda have various models on offer, they are all robust, but cannot withstand everything.
