Rounding it out

All in all, contractors most likely will have a combination of several types of mowers in their fleet, Tew says.

“The combination of those machines fits the properties that they maintain. Normally, there’s not a one-size-fits-all option,” he says. “It’s based on application and property types that they manage and have under contract that will ultimately determine their fleet composition.”

Vachal adds that it’s important to keep the employee in mind when deciding on what type of mowers to incorporate into a fleet.

“Taking care of your employees is important and will grow in importance in the future, so equipment that offers a better experience for your employees will benefit you in the long run,” Vachal says.
