While a smart option for many homeowners, others prefer to use a mulching kit so that fresh clippings can add essential nutrients back into the lawn immediately after mowing. This helps the lawn keep its color and helps it resist disease, while the fine nature of mulching ensures that clippings will be largely invisible and will resist blocking sunlight.

Hand Held Equipment – Gas & Oil Mix Ratio Explained

Posted on August 20, 2014 by Admin

Cub Cadet HandheldWhen customers consider buying Cub Cadet power equipment for use around their home or for commercial purposes, they’re often confronted with a significant choice between three competing operation types. The first of these is a lithium-ion tool, which uses no fuel and is perhaps the easiest to use. For more traditional or powerful options, customers must choose between two-cycle and four-cycle engines. Four-cycle models are considered the most “traditional” engines, and they’re the easiest to use.

Posted on August 13, 2014 by Admin

In-Depth Overview of the RZT-S Zero

Posted on July 9, 2014 by Admin

Cub Cadet RZT S ZeroIf there’s one word that almost all homeowners would use to describe their lawn mowing experience, it has to be “loud.” Today’s lawn mowers are almost all powered by gasoline, with bulky engines that produce a lot of horsepower and a lot of noise all at the same time.
