good purchase decision if you have a large lawn to cut. They can get the lawn
cut quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately riding lawn mowers come with a hefty
price tag, but there are a few that may be considered inexpensive riding lawn

more expensive. The most inexpensive riding lawn mowers start at about $1000 and

powerful engine, and an increased number of controls for the cutting deck. All
this translates into increased production costs, which means that inexpensive
riding lawn mowers are hard to find.

sale. Many retailers will put summer stock on sale at the beginning of fall.

construction. The engine is the single most expensive component on any lawn
mower, so the bigger the engine the more expensive the mower.

lawn mowers. Well-known companies stake their reputation on quality products and
dependable service. They usually make sure that their inexpensive models deserve
