A lawn tractor equipped with power delivered to all four wheels, rather than just two, offers increased traction and control, particularly on slopes, uneven terrain, and in challenging weather conditions. This type of mower is typically sought by individuals or businesses maintaining larger properties or those requiring enhanced maneuverability.
Enhanced traction translates into improved safety and efficiency. The ability to navigate difficult landscapes reduces the risk of slippage and allows for consistent cutting performance, even on hills or wet grass. Historically, four-wheel drive technology was primarily found in larger agricultural or construction vehicles. Its adaptation to lawn tractors signifies a shift towards more robust and capable lawn care equipment, meeting the demands of larger, more complex properties.
