riding lawnmowers

Motorized grass vehicles

Riding lawnmowers are lawn-cutting machines large enough to sit on and drive, used for mowing extensive grass areas.

Unlike push mowers, they have a seat, steering wheel, and engine powerful enough to propel both the machine and operator: He spent Saturday afternoon on the riding lawnmower.

Common in suburban and rural settings where property size makes walk-behind mowers impractical.
