    Firstly, do you actually need a ride on?

    Secondly, just put it on a credit card and pay a few hundred a month until paid off probably cheaper than a lot of finance options if available which I doubt there are anyway.

    Thanks Monkeynuz,

    I've just over 3/4 acre in lawns to cover, takes me hours with a push lawnmower, and refuse to get a credit card, as I know I would use it way too much.. I'll just have to save until the summer, and work with the push mower for now

    Thanks

    Perhaps you need a better walk behind it should only take an hour with a walk behind really.

    I'm inclined to agree with monkeynuz. You will get a decent walk behind for half the price of a ride on for domestic use or even less

    If its taking you hours to cut the grass then you are not cutting it often enough. If you cut it more often it will be way easier. Even divide into 4 or 5 sections and cut one every 1 to 2 days. its amazing how quickly you will cut grass that's growing for only four days in the height of summer. Saves you time in the long run.

    Most of the dealers also do second hand ride ons as well. Lots of people trade up from to a more powerful model after a few years . Most mowers only get 20-40 hours of use a year which is trivial.

    That's what the dealer will tell you. If they are buying a more powerful model then the first one will have been used beyonds it's limits.
