The specifications of lawn tractors are very important when deciding which to choose. The first thing to look at is where the lawn clippings go. They can either remain on the ground or go into a bag on the side. Next you need to sit on the tractor and make sure it is comfortable.

You must measure the width in the storage room and then measure it to the tractor. The transmission is very important and should be chosen wisely. A hydrostatic transmission is high in price but offers high speed and flexibility. Gear transmissions are slower but durable. Lastly, belt transmission is slow and simple, but cheap.
