Zero-Turn Mower Dealer in Lumberton, TX

You can compare Bad Boy, Cub Cadet, Spartan and Warhawk zero-turns at our Buna store. Each maker sets up its seat, lap bars and deck its own way. That's why sitting on a few beats reading spec sheets at home. Notice how the levers feel in your hands and how easy the deck height is to change. Check how you'd climb on and off, too, since you'll do it often. The lot changes, so call the store if you're set on one model before you drive up. Otherwise, come look at what's there and compare them in person.

Yes. The Bad Boy Maverick HD with the 54-inch deck is the mower our Buna store sells most. That doesn't make it right for every place. A 54-inch deck covers a lot of open grass in one pass. It also needs room to swing past trees, gates and sheds. If your Lumberton lot is broken up by pines and flower beds, a narrower deck may suit you better. If it's open grass out to the fence, the Maverick HD is a good place to start comparing. Ask to see it next to a couple of other decks and judge the width yourself.

Some zero-turns can, but read the operator's manual before you hitch anything up. Bad Boy's Maverick manual sets the towing limit at 260 pounds on a 5-degree slope, in any direction. Cub Cadet's zero-turn manual says don't tow on slopes greater than 5 degrees. Bad Boy also warns that on a slope, the weight you're towing can cost you traction. That's a bigger deal on a zero-turn, since it steers through its drive wheels. When they slip, it stops steering. Keep a loaded cart on level ground, and take it slow. If towing matters to you, ask at our Buna store which models take a hitch.

Our Buna store does. The parts counter has blades, belts and filters, and the shop handles tune-ups and repairs. So the place you bought the mower is the place you take it back to. A zero-turn's deck sits low and takes hits from sticks and roots under the trees. Blades and spindles show that first. If the cut starts looking ragged, or the mower shakes more than it used to, don't wait on it. Schedule service online, or bring it by and tell the shop what you're hearing. You won't need a second shop for the mower you buy from us.

No. Bad Boy's manual says don't mow on wet grass, because wet grass reduces traction and steering control. Cub Cadet's zero-turn manual says the same thing. It matters more on a zero-turn than on a lawn tractor. A zero-turn steers through its drive wheels, so when they slip, it stops steering. Give the yard time to dry after a rain before you cut. If the grass gets ahead of you in the meantime, raise the deck for the first pass and drop it on the next. Your operator's manual has the rest of the safety rules for your machine.
