Though a garden tractor can potentially make the chore of mowing the lawn and other yard work a much easier task, there are a couple factors to consider.

Size and Terrain of the Yard

Typically, push mowers will accomplish the task of mowing lawns less than an acre in area.

Lawns with hilly features may still be mowed with push mowers, though they require larger rear wheels and sometimes motorized assist. For a lawn of greater land area, the task of mowing regularly becomes more time consuming. Lawn tractors are appropriate for areas up to and around 2 acres. For a yard that is large in area, such as 10 acres, a garden tractor may be more appropriate.

If considering such a purchase, be sure that the terrain of the land is not such that the tractor mower would turn over with the operator on it.

Typical Use

Though a lawn tractor and garden tractor may sound like the same thing, they actually have their differences.

Besides a greater stamina for mowing larger acreages, garden tractors are designed with greater towing capabilities. Typical towing purposes include bringing supplies to distant areas, spreading fertilizer, and to aerating the lawn.

Age and Physical Condition

Consider the age and physical condition of the person tending to the yard.

The elderly and those who have certain health conditions or disabilities that just simply prevent them from using a push mower. In both of these circumstances, the need for a garden tractor can be justified for practically any size of lawn.

Propane lanterns work in much the same way as liquid fuel camping lanterns.  The primary difference is that the fuel is supplied by a propane cylinder which is inserted into the bottom of the lantern.  The propane, being under pressure, will feed through the lantern and out of the mantles.  The lamp will continue to give off light until the fuel is exhausted or the mantles are damaged or broken.

Propane fueled camping lanterns are regarded as being safer than liquid fuel lanterns.  The propoane is safely contained in a cylinder and refueling is as simple as swapping the empty cylinder for a new one.  For longer continuous use, the lamp can be attached to a hole or other appropriate accessory and fed from a larger propane tank.

The small propane cylinders are relatively expensive and do not last all that long. This is one of the main reasons that many campers simply attach them to a larger propane tank.  The biggest disadvantage of these lanterns is heat.  As such, they are generally unsuitable for indoor use during the summer time.  Therefore, in the event of a summertime natural disaster, a propane lantern would be unsuitable for use as a source of emergency lighting.

Propane lanterns have been around for about 15 years and are pretty reliable.  They are convenient for use by newer campers so long as the campers have ready access to additional cylinders or the means to feed the lantern from a larger propane tank.  All in all, propane lanterns provide a safe and efficient source of outdoor lighting.  In the winter, they can provide an additional source of heat.  As such, the propane lantern is an indispensable addition to any camper’s stockpile of camping accessories.

have gained in popularity immensely.  It seems like many homeowners have ride on mowers and don’t even need them. Here are a few reasons why you might need a ride on mower:

• It takes you more than two hours to mow your lawn with a push mower
• You are too old to push a mower anymore
• You have an injury or other medical condition that prohibits you from pushing a mower.

On the other hand, here are some reasons not to get a ride on mower:

• You are lazy:  Everyone needs some exercise.  Walking behind a mower is a good source of it.
• Your teenage son/daughter moved out:  You got too used to your kid mowing the lawn. Time to dust off the sneakers and give the lawnmower a try again.

Using a push mower can be a great exercise.  Instead of going to the gym or even going for a walk, mow your lawn.  If you can’t bear mowing for two hours straight, try breaking it up into four ½ hour sessions.
