Why a Wait-and-See Attitude Doesn’t Work When Choosing a Commercial Mower

29th January 2025

In the world of professional landscaping and grounds maintenance, success depends on making informed, proactive decisions. A wait-and-see approach is rarely a hallmark of good business. The unpredictability of the industry—fluctuating seasons, variable weather conditions, shifting project demands and workforce availability—means that those who plan ahead will always have the competitive edge.

Business is about risk-taking, but many risks can be mitigated by making the right choices in advance. Nowhere is this more important than when investing in a commercial mower. Your mower is the backbone of your business, so selecting the right one is critical to both operational efficiency and long-term profitability. Rather than making an impulsive purchase, take the time to assess the options available to you.

Key Considerations When Choosing a Commercial Mower

Before committing to a mower, ask yourself and your team some essential questions:

  • Operator Comfort and Safety: Does the mower prioritise the comfort of the operator during long working hours? Staff retention is a key challenge in the industry, and an ergonomic, easy-to-use mower can make a significant difference.
  • Compliance with Legislation: Are all safety features up to the highest standard? Does the mower comply with HAV (Hand-Arm Vibration) and WB (Whole-Body) regulations?
  • Productivity and Efficiency: How much ground does the mower cover per hour or hectare? Does the deck configuration and width suit your specific needs?
  • Durability and Reliability: What is the build quality like? Are the components built to last, ensuring minimal downtime?
  • Operating Costs: What are the long-term running costs, including maintenance and fuel consumption?
  • Transport and Storage: Does the mower fit on your trailer or van? Will additional accessories be needed for transport or operation?
  • Sustainability: How does the mower align with emerging trends such as E-fuels and environmentally friendly practices?
