Should You Purchase a Used Lawn Mower?
When it comes to buying used items, most people are usually okay with it. You hear about used cars, boats, and even homes. However, our staff at SS Equipment know that when it comes to lawnmowers, people in Oregon and Washington tend to second think about purchasing them. Understandably, homeowners and business owners want a machine that can not only cut their grass properly but do so for years to come. Here are a few things to consider when contemplating purchasing a used lawnmower.
Ask This Series of Questions
One of the first things you should consider doing is asking a series of questions in order to ensure that it's worth your time. These may include questions such as when the lawnmower was purchased, how often the mower was used, and why they are selling it in the first place.
Condition of the Lawn Mower
Once you believe the mower is worth your time, it's now time to see it in person. During this time, it is recommended to check two things, the tires and the engine. Look for any frayed wiring or loose components within the mower. Check the fluid levels as that can be an indication of a leak somewhere within the machine.
Insist on a Test Drive
If everything checks out, your last task is to take it on a test drive. During the test drive, you must keep an eye for any smoke, loose components rattling during idle, and odd sounds you may hear when you first start the mower up.
