Best Months to Buy a Riding Lawn Mower: March & April
When investing in a new high-quality mower, shopping at the right time can make a big difference. Here’s why the best months to buy a riding lawn mower (or zero turn) are March and April:
- New Models are Hitting Showrooms — One of the reasons that March and April are the best months to buy a riding mower is that you can shop the new models. This is the most popular time of year for manufacturers to release their latest and greatest. Waiting for this these months means you get access to the most cutting-edge features and latest models from the big brands. Thanks to our great relationships with Spartan and Hustler, we almost always have a huge selection of their top models in our showrooms.
- You Can Find Good Deals on Older Models — While shopping in the spring means you can buy the latest model, you certainly don’t have to. If you’re looking for a bargain, this can be the ideal time to find it. Since newer models are on the floor, you may be able to get good deals on in-stock older models. So, So no matter if you prefer big savings over having the latest equipment, spring is still the best time of year to buy a lawn mower.
- Maintenance is Easy— Like your car, all mowers need regular maintenance to perform their best. Generally, this maintenance is done over the winter or in the early spring. Of course, by buying brand new, you can skip maintenance for the whole first year. After that, you’ll be on an easy-to-remember schedule every year going forward.
- Backing Up & Stopping — Here’s one last reason to buy a mower in the spring: because the grass is growing and you need to get to work! Replacing your mower at the beginning of the season keeps you from having to use your old, outdated mower any longer. This convenience factor is one of the most compelling arguments why March and April are the best months to buy a riding lawn mower.
