The commercial mower market has continued to grow strongly over the past years. New product design is one of the biggest factors pushing commercial mower production, but demographics and lifestyle changes are equally important. Zero-turn radius mowers have shown substantial growth. Many commercial lawn-mowing companies prefer zero-turn mowers for their versatility, speed and productivity. The rise of zero-turn mowers has certainly come at the expense of rear engine riders and garden tractors, and there is no doubt that they have also displaced a number of larger commercial walk-behinds.
