A zero-turn mower is a type of lawn mower designed for efficient and precise cutting. It features a unique steering system that allows the operator to turn in place, making it ideal for navigating around obstacles like trees and flower beds. This design significantly reduces mowing time compared to traditional mowers. These mowers are typically equipped with powerful engines and large cutting decks, enabling them to cover more ground quickly. They are popular among both homeowners and professional landscapers for their maneuverability and ease of use, making lawn maintenance more efficient and less labor-intensive.
