If you have a large stretch of land and require a
heavy-duty, high-quality lawn mower to maintain it, then you are looking at a
long term investment. A ride-on mower from a high quality distributer such a
Gianni Ferrari or John Deere Mowers may require significant investment to begin
with, but if sufficient care is taken and maintenance carried out then it could
be a long term partner. Regular services will ensure that the mower will
perform at a consistently high level.
Keep it Covered
It is important that the mower is kept under the cover when
it is not being used for any length of time. If you are not planning on using
it during the winter months, ensure that you store is safely in a dry place
that will not be susceptible to snow or other adverse weather conditions. It is
also prudent to use a cover to wrap the engine, keeping the engine warm in
particular will help improve its longevity.
Keep the Engine
Active
Even if you are not using the mower, it is still recommended
that the engine is warmed up from time to time. This will keep the engine warm
and will blow out any cobwebs. Neglect is the biggest killer of ride-on mowers.
You needn’t take it out of neutral as you can simply sit atop the mower and let
it warm up.
Regularly Clean Ups
It is vitally important that you regularly clean your
quality ride-on mower. This will decrease the amount of mud, grime and dust
that is trapped inside the engine and workings of the mower. Dust that settles
in the interior can cause great damage in the long term and could even lead to
a total break-down. Furthermore, keeping your ride-on mower clean will create a
beautiful looking vehicle for you to ride on for years to come.
