Choosing a lawn tractor by plot size

A lawn tractor that's too small wastes time on large areas, while one that's too big is hard to manoeuvre on small, awkwardly shaped plots. Cutting width is the most important reference point.

Cutting width and area covered

As a rough rule of thumb: the wider the cut, the more area you mow per hour. A model like the GT 92 with a compact cutting width suits medium-sized plots well, while the GT 102 Comfort with a wider cut saves time on larger lawns.

Manoeuvrability for awkward plots

With many obstacles like trees, beds or tight passages, manoeuvrability often matters more than raw cutting width. A more compact model with a smaller turning circle can be the more practical choice here despite covering less area per hour.

Don't underestimate slope

For more sloped plots, check the maximum permitted slope for the model in question in the specs. This figure is an important safety limit and shouldn't be exceeded.

Conclusion

Choose the cutting width based on your actual plot size, but also factor in manoeuvrability and slope for your specific terrain. That way you'll find a lawn tractor that genuinely makes lawn care easier.
