3 riding lawn mower myths video

less than a minute readMar 09Lyle Weischwill

From cutting the grass when it's wet to what mowing pattern you should use, we set the record straight on common riding lawn mower myths.

See our DIY Riding Mower and Tractor Repair page for troubleshooting videos, step-by-step repair guides and tips on how to keep your riding mower running efficiently all summer long.

Don’t let these riding lawn mower myths fool you.

Myth 1: All mowers work well on all types of grass. 

BUSTED! Thick, tough grass? You’ll need a more powerful mower. 

Myth 2: You can’t cut wet grass. 

BUSTED! You can mow the yard when grass is damp if your mower’s blades are sharp. 

Myth 3: Keeping a consistent mowing pattern is a must. 

BUSTED! Mowing in the same pattern can mat down the grass, which is bad for growth.
