Lawn tractor vs zero turn mower: 5 factors to help you… | Snapper

How your garden is laid out plays a big role in choosing between a lawn tractor and a zero turn mower. If you have a long, straight lawn with no obstacles or narrow spaces, a lawn tractor is often a solid choice.

But if your garden has curves, separate sections, trees, flower beds, paths or other landscaping features, you’ll likely benefit more from a zero turn mower. With a turning radius of zero degrees, zero turns are designed to navigate around obstacles without the need to stop, reverse or reposition.

Lawn tractors, on the other hand, have a wider turning circle. That means manoeuvring through tight spaces can be awkward, especially on damp grass, and repeated reversing can damage the turf.

Snapper machines can do more than just mow. If you’re looking for a bit of extra functionality, it’s worth considering how you plan to use your mower beyond cutting grass.

Some of our larger zero turn models come with a cargo bed, great for transporting tools, bags of feed, or anything else around the garden. Lawn tractors, on the other hand, offer even more flexibility. You can attach accessories like a sweeping brush, and in winter you can swap it out for a snow blade or snow thrower to keep your garden paths clear.

So before choosing your mower, think about what else you’d like it to handle. That way, you can pick a Snapper machine that fits your garden all year round.

The way each machine steers is one of the biggest differences between a lawn tractor and a zero turn mower, and the final choice often comes down to personal driving preference.

A lawn tractor handles a lot like a car. You sit behind a steering wheel, use pedals to accelerate and brake, and turn the wheel to change direction. If you’re used to that setup, it feels familiar right away.

Zero turn mowers steer using two levers instead of a steering wheel. Each lever controls one of the rear wheels. To drive straight, you push both levers forward. The further you push, the faster you go. To turn, you adjust the pressure on each lever. For a true zero-degree turn, you can push one lever forward while pulling the other back. This lets the mower pivot on the spot, which gives zero turns their signature manoeuvrability. There’s a short learning curve if you haven’t used levers before, but most people get the hang of it quickly.
