When it comes to riding mowers, there are so many models to choose from. Each machine offers something a little different — one more aptly suited for specific tasks than others. So in order to accurately determine which riding mower is best for your jobsite, you’ll need to consider a few questions:

• • How many acres will I be maintaining?
  • How often will I be operating this machine?
  • Will I be working on uneven terrain?
  • What type/length of grass will I be cutting?

Each mower is designed to meet a variety of needs. So if you plan on covering a lot of ground, larger models from the X700 family may be right for you. Additionally, these models offer attachments that greatly increase the versatility of your equipment — from snow blowers to rotary brooms. Other large models from the X500 family also offer similar attachments, but provide fewer horsepower than their counterpart.

For those with smaller lawns and acreage, models from the 100 and 200 series offer quality cutting at economical prices. These are great choices for properties requiring power that a standard push mower can’t provide. Lastly, the X300 family offers the best of both worlds. With attachment capability and a smaller frame, these machines are perfect for all-weather application.

But perhaps the best way to select a lawn tractor is by stopping by your local Papé Machinery location and trying one out for yourself. Our equipment specialists can help you find the perfect machine for all your tasks and can assess additional specifications like comfort, add-ons, engine models, and more.
