Learn how versatile a riding lawn tractor can be when outfitted with attachments.

Keep yourself safe. Wearing ear-muffs should be standard practice around loud engines, especially when your ears will be exposed for long periods of time. Wearing a face mask is also a good idea to limit inhaling allergens raised up in the grass and dust as you mow. Similarly, wearing safety glasses/goggles is wise when mowing around low handing branches of trees and shrubs. Even more important, is understanding that all mowers have a kill switch as a safety feature that stops the blade when the contact is broken. In riding mowers, it is normally in the seat so that displacement of the driver's weight stops the blade and the engine. Additionally, mower manufacturers warn very clearly that their equipment should not be used on steep slopes.
