Although most people just use their ride on lawn mower for cutting the grass and nothing more, you can do all kinds of other chores with them as well.
  You can even use it in the winter.
  Here is a guide to give you some ideas about how you can put ride on lawn mowers work for you in ways that you probably never thought of.
Raking up the leaves If you have a medium to large sized yard, you know that raking up the leaves in autumn is definitely a chore.
  The fact that leaves fall constantly for a couple of months makes matters even worse.
  No need to worry though, since you can buy an attachment called a sweeper.
  You just tow one of these nifty things behind your ride on lawn mower and it sucks up leaves automatically and puts them in a holding bag.
  When the bag is full, you simply ride over to your pile and dump it.
  Clearing your driveway There is no need to let your ride on lawn mower hibernate all winter in the garage or shed.
  Put it to work in the off season by clearing your driveway.
  You can attach what is called a blade to the front of the tractor, and use it to clear your driveway.
  You simply drive and it pushes the snow off to the side.
  You will have to think about this before you buy a ride on lawn mower, since you need a good sized engine and the ability to attach a blade to the front.
  You can even get chains to put on the wheels for added traction.
Mulching you lawn One easy and inexpensive way to care for your lawn is by getting a mulching kit for your ride on lawn mower.
  While most mowers leave large clumps of cut grass on the lawn to suffocate the grass, mulchers cut the clippings into small bits and distribute them on the lawn more evenly.
  Mulching a lawn will naturally give the grass nutrients and reduce the need for fertilizers.
  Hauling stuff around the yard Do you frequently carry heavy things like fertilizer bags or potting soil around the yard?  Why not use a ride on lawn mower cart to do the heavy work?  You can get a wheeled cart that attaches to the back of your ride on lawn mower tractor and haul whatever you need to around the yard.
  This is great for bringing heavy garbage bins down to the end of the driveway as well.
The options for lawn mower uses are endless.
  Just take a look at ride on lawn mower accessories at a garden and landscaping store and get ideas about what other things your machine can do for you.
  Doing so can save you time and energy all year round.
