When is the best time to schedule my riding lawn mower tune-up?
The best time to schedule your riding lawn mower tune-up is in early spring, just before the mowing season begins. A spring tune-up ensures that your mower is in optimal condition and ready to handle the demands of the season. By addressing any maintenance needs early, you’ll prevent unexpected breakdowns and improve your mower’s performance and efficiency.
Alternatively, you can also schedule a tune-up at the end of the mowing season, before storing your mower for the winter. End-of-season maintenance ensures that any wear and tear from the mowing season is addressed, so your mower will be ready to go when spring arrives. This also helps protect your equipment from potential damage caused by long periods of inactivity.
Regular tune-ups not only extend the lifespan of your riding mower but also improve cutting quality and fuel efficiency. For more details on how to care for your lawn and garden equipment, visit our lawn & garden equipment maintenance page.
