There are a lot of benefits to mulching, and having a ride on mower that gives you the benefits as well as comfort is truly the best of both worlds.
We guide you through the best features of a ride on mulching mower that gives you the healthiest looking lawn this growing season.
What to look for
Certain features of a ride on mulching mower make it stand out from the crowd. From manoeuvrability to cutting range and stability - they all play a part when it comes to identifying the best features of a mulching ride on mower.
Manoeuvrability
Good manoeuvrability is essential on a ride on mulching mower. Not only will you be able to mulch all areas of your lawn, but also around the circular base of your garden trees or other obstacles, too.
Ride on mulching mowers that have good manoeuvrability are usually equipped with an innovative precision steering wheel, like the EGO ZT4201E-S. A precision steering wheel paired up with the ability to turn on the spot makes it easy to mulch all areas of your garden.
Power
A ride on mulching mower will need a good deal of power if it is to mow, mulch and scatter the grass out across the lawn. Not to mention propelling the mower itself so you don’t just stay in one spot.
All EGO ride on mulching mowers deliver the equivalent of a 22-horsepower petrol engine, and harness a maximum of 72ah from 6 x 12Ah batteries. Not only is this sufficient power to cut and mulch grass cleanly and efficiently, but you can also tailor the combination of batteries, to suit the lawn you’re cutting.
Alternate cutting options
A key feature of a mulching ride on mower is having the option to seamlessly switch from mulching to side discharge, or collecting. The reality is that you don’t want a one-trick-pony stored in your garden shed, that’s only fit for mowing and nothing else.
Often mowers have a function that allows you to switch easily from collecting, scattering, mulching and more. Look for a mower that allows you to seamlessly switch between these functions so you get the most use out of it.
Efficiency
This is a big one for those that have exceptionally large areas to mow. We don’t need to state the obvious here and explain why refilling or recharging your mower every hour would be inconvenient and environmentally unfriendly.
With that being said, EGO ride on mulching mowers can last up to 2.5 acres on a single charge. This combined with one of the industries fastest chargers, there is never an inconvenient moment when your mower runs out of power.
Stability
There’s a good chance you own a ride on mulching mower to make the task of mowing your lawn a lot easier than with a push mower. This is especially true if your lawn is sloping too.
Stability of your mulching ride on mower is crucial for this environment - the last thing you want is your mower to topple over when you turn it around on a slope. A balanced, low-profile design, like with the EGO ZT5201E-L Z6, means that this risk is eliminated.
Maintaining your ride on mower
