Choosing a Lawn Tractor

Welcome to the new Garden Tractors blog. We'll be posting useful information about what to look out for when selecting a lawn tractor, which models to plump for and what to pay.

To kick off with, here are 5 things to think about when researching and buying garden lawn tractors:

1. Shop around to get the best price, there are many good online retailers that you can purchase from with confidence.
2. What is the horsepower of the machine, make sure it is man enough to take on the size of job you have in mind for it. Underpowered machines can frustrate you.
3. Have a look at the transmission type. The continuously variable hydrostatic is the best option.
4. Check that the model of garden tractor can accept add-ons such as a trailer or grass box.
5. Some of the bigger brands offer quality and reliability at a good price, but don't rule out the lesser brands either - many are up to the job for most private gardens.
