Out-front mowers for sale

Buying used out-front mowers

Out-front mowers carry the cutting deck ahead of the operator, which makes it easy to reach under shrubs and along edges. Many are diesel with four-wheel drive, and collector models can lift clippings into a high-tip box.

Check engine hours and service history, then the deck, blades and spindle bearings. Look for hydraulic leaks around the deck lift and drive, and test the four-wheel drive and differential lock if fitted. On collector models, check the fan, ducting and tipping rams.

Common makes include Toro, John Deere, Kubota, Iseki, Etesia and Grillo. Filter by year and engine hours, then contact the dealer directly.
