riding lawnmower

Sit-down grass cutter

A riding lawnmower is a lawn-cutting machine large enough for the operator to sit on while driving it, as opposed to a walk-behind mower that you push.

These are practical for large yards and properties where pushing a mower would be exhausting or time-consuming.

Dad spends Saturday mornings on the riding lawnmower.
