It isn’t hard to miss the tell-tale signs of tire spin. For all their speed and convenience, ride-on lawn mowers will make ugly marks in your lawn if you aren’t aware when driving.
Tires spin when there isn’t enough traction; we all know that. On lawns, you may not have enough traction when going up or down hills. Even if the tires are spinning for a second, they will chew up the grass and dirt beneath.
Speed can also be the cause of tire spin damage. A groundskeeper who roars around a corner on a lawn mower is likely to be leaving big swathes of torn up grass behind.
What do you think a homeowner is going to notice first: how quickly the job was done or the state of the lawn afterwards?
Remember that tires will spin more easily when the ground is wet, and so lawn mower drivers need to be extra cautious during these times.
