Professional walk-behind mowers are powerful, sturdy pieces of lawn equipment useful for a variety of tasks. They give you more control than zero-turn mowers when you're trying to mow in tight spaces. Walk-behinds are also safer on hills than riding mowers. Using a walk-behind, you can be more flexible when cutting a lawn since they make it easy to navigate around obstacles or to stop mowing and move something out of the way. Plus they have a smaller footprint than riding mowers and don't take up as much room on an equipment trailer. They're also great for those of us who don't like to spend all our mowing time sitting down. 30678-mid-walk-behind-toro-mower-48in-fixed-deck-gear-drive-t-bar-plano The powerful commercial walk-behind mowers are designed to stand up to the demands of professional lawn care work. They can also be a good choice for homeowners who want a more rugged lawnmower. Professional walk-behinds come in a range of sizes. The smaller ones are about the same size as homeowner models and are useful for trim work and smaller yards. The larger mid-size, zero-turn walk-behinds will work for mowing large lawns. Some even have cutting decks the same size as comparable riding mowers. When you're looking to purchase a professional walk-behind mower, there are several brands and models that you can choose from. Today, we're going to look at the mowers offered by three brands that we carry here at Richardson Saw & Lawnmower. Toro, eXmark, and Scag are among the most trusted brands out there and we're proud to stand by the quality of their mowers.

Toro's Heavy Duty Mowers

top-toro-walk-behind-mowers-for-sale-plano When you're looking for a new walk-behind mower, Toro is one of the best brands to consider. It's one of the highest-rated lawnmower brands in the lawn care industry. As just one example, last year Consumer Reports rated the Toro Recycler SmartStow 21329 as one of their top two pics for gas-powered push mowers. Toro's commercial walk-behind mowers come with either 21-inch or 30-inch cutting decks. The 21-inch Heavy Duty models are 3-speed, self-propelled mowers with decks are designed for premium mulching performance. The Turf Master models reduce cutting time with their larger, 30-inch cutting deck. Toro designed both of these mower series for durability with sturdy frames, heavy-duty steel decks, and other commercial-grade components. Toro also offers mid-size walk-behinds with 32-inch, 36-inch, 48-inch, 54-inch, or 60-inch cutting decks. These sturdy, reliable mowers give you all the advantages of a walk-behind mower along with the wider cutting decks of a zero-turn riding mower so you can cut lawn more quickly.
