A hybrid option that blends the best characteristics of riding and walk-behind mowers, new and used stand-on mowers are popular for intermediately sized lawns with extensive landscaping.
Read More (About Stand-On Mowers)Mix the features of a walk-behind mower with those of a riding lawn mower and you end up with a stand-on mower. These mowers are equipped with a small platform on the mower’s backside on which the operator stands while using hand controls to steer.
With decks that generally range from about 30 to 60 inches (76 to 152 centimeters) and up, stand-on mowers fall somewhere between a mid-tier walk-behind mower and a riding model in terms of size and cutting width.
A good fit for small, hilly, or extensively landscaped areas, stand-on mowers are suitable for spaces larger than a half-acre in size and smaller than an acre, although they aren’t as suitable as riding and zero-turn mowers for large, wide-open spaces due to their slower operating speeds.
The biggest selling point of stand-on mowers today is their excellent precision and maneuverability, especially compared to riding lawn mowers. Stand-on mowers give operators 360-degree visibility that comes in handy when navigating around flower beds, bushes, and other heavily landscaped areas.
Stand-on mowers are also easier to transport than riding mowers and are considered safer to operate, particularly on lawns with steep grades due to their deck’s lower center of gravity and the ability of the operator to shift his weight using his legs to handle uneven terrain.
Operators can also exit a stand-on mower more quickly than a riding mower, adding a further safety benefit. Additionally, experts say stand-on models cause less back pain and fatigue over time than riding mowers.
