The rear-wheel drive system enhances traction and maneuverability, allowing users to navigate tricky areas, including slopes and uneven ground.

Additionally, the mowers’ compact design allows for easy storage and transport. Their tight turning radius makes them adept at maneuvering around landscaping and obstacles, further increasing their efficiency and reducing the need for trimming.
