Are the zero turn mowers the ones you sit on with the two arms that come out towards the rider? Are they better for flat lawns?
There are different kinds. Some you sit on and steer it like a tank; each wheel is controlled with a lever in your left or right hand.

Others you walk behind (or ride on a sulky) and squeeze levers to control wheel speed.

I *think* member "elle" on here runs L&L lawn equipment. Hit him up.
