About ZeroTurnMowers.net
We're an independent Illinois resource for buying, comparing, and maintaining zero-turn mowers. Our goal is simple: help you make a confident, well-informed purchase you'll be happy with for the next decade.
ZeroTurnMowers.net does not sell mowers, parts, or service, and we cannot provide quotes. We're an independent information site. When you're ready to buy, demo, or service a machine, we route you to authorized local dealers. For Grasshopper, that's the dealer locator maintained by Benning Distributing, the regional Grasshopper distributor: find your local Grasshopper dealer. All pricing, sales, parts, and service happen through those dealers, never through us.
Our position, stated plainly
ZeroTurnMowers.net is an independent review and information resource. Grasshopper is our current top pick, and the reasoning is laid out across the site. Every spec, price range, and competitor detail is presented as accurately as we can so you can decide for yourself.
Our #1 ranking isn't just our opinion: Grasshopper won the NAEDA 2024 Dealer's Choice Award (#1 Overall) from the North American Equipment Dealers Association, along with category wins for product, parts, and warranty. We weight that alongside our own hands-on evaluation. Our rankings reflect our editorial judgment, and if the strongest all-around pick changes, so will our recommendation.
How we evaluate
We rate every machine on six criteria: cut quality & deck design, versatility, build quality & longevity, serviceability & support, comfort, and value over the ownership lifespan. We're transparent that we weight versatility and long service life heavily, see the full methodology. A buyer who weights upfront price differently might reasonably rank things differently, and we say so.
Our relationship & how we make money
The Grasshopper dealer locator we link to is maintained by Benning Distributing, the regional Grasshopper distributor. We refer interested buyers to that locator so a local, authorized dealer can help them. We are not that distributor and not a dealer, and we do not take a cut of any sale. Competitor pages link to each brand's own authorized dealer locator, kept genuine on purpose. Disclose any affiliate or referral relationship with the distributor here before launch.
Accuracy
Specs, prices, and model names change. We flag figures to verify and encourage you to confirm current details with a local dealer before buying. Spot something out of date? Tell us and we'll fix it.
