Lawn Mowers

Lawn Mowers

Keeping your yard looking lush, green and manicured can require different types of equipment depending on the size of the lawn, terrain variability and much more. That said, Tractor Supply is  here to help you find which lawn mower is best for your outdoor space.

Manicure Every Edge of  Your Lawn with Push Lawn Mowers

The classic push mower is best suited for a yard of about an acre or less. These hands-on mowers are great at trimming tight edges and clipping every small corner of the lawn. Available in gas or electric models, there are three primary variations of the push mower: 

• Classic push mower: This mower requires you to walk behind the mower, providing manual power and steering. 

• Self-propelled mower: The self-propelled mower is a more advanced mower that can take care of the power while you lead the way.

• Reel lawn mower: A reel lawn mower is an environmentally-friendly option that is entirely manual and perfect for small spaces with flat terrain.

Save Time Mowing with Riding & Zero-Turn Lawn Mowers

Riding lawn mowers help you to maintain your lawn efficiently and effectively and are often best suited for larger properties. Available in electric and gas-powered styles, the increased size of a riding mower deck, which houses the blades, can help cut the time you spend doing yard work in half. For a terrain with more obstacles, such as trees and intricate landscaping, a zero-turn riding lawn mower may be best. Much like a push mower, a zero-turn allows you to tightly manicure every edge of your lawn but with less manual power and greater efficiency. To mow even larger plots of land, consider trail mowers, which can be attached to the back of your tractor or mower to quickly clear thicker grass.

In more recent years, high-tech robotic lawn mowers have helped to make maintaining your lawn even easier. These battery-powered lawn mowers are entirely self-propelled and do every bit of the mowing for you. They are best suited for small spaces with flat terrain and are sure to help you reduce the time you spend doing lawn care. 

Fueling Your Mower

At Tractor Supply, we have both gas- and electric-powered variations of push and riding lawn mowers. However, the capabilities of gas- and electric-powered mowers differ, so it is key to understand these differences to find the mower that is best for you.

• Put Power First with Gas-Powered Lawn Mowers: Gas-powered lawn mowers are known for their durability and power. They can fight through thick grass with ease and are great for large areas of land, as they tend to need to be refueled less frequently than their electric counterparts.

• Think Green With Electric Powered Lawn Mowers: Electric and battery-powered lawn mowers generally produce less fumes and emissions than gas-powered models, making them much more eco-friendly. Additionally, electric mowers can produce less noise, making your lawn care experience more enjoyable and safer for your ears. 

With a variety of lawn mowing options from top brands like Cub Cadet, Toro and Greenworks, Tractor Supply can fulfill all your Life Out Here lawn care needs. No matter the size of your lawn, we have the products you need to keep it looking trimmed and green.
