Do you need to get your hands on a reliable Ride on Mower for your large garden in the coming days or weeks? If so, then check out our review for the best Ride on Mowers currently available in the UK at present which also include lower priced budget solutions as well as higher priced Zero turn Mowers.
Delivery Times
One of the main issues we see is that some of the more popular brands and models are out of stock or they have a very long lead time from order date to delivery date and in some cases you will have to wait 1 month or more for these Mower machines to arrive.
As a result, we have excluded many of these Ride on Mowers that take months to arrive and instead we have focussed on what is currently available in stock in the UK for a more prompt delivery. As guide prices can only be shown in this review, please make sure to view the price checkers provided below to help ensure you have the most accurate up to date price information

Best Ride on Mower – High Performance
Toro Titan MyRIDE 137cm Timecutter Zero Turn Tractor XS5450
Our first recommendation when it comes to ride on lawnmowers would have to be the Toro Titan MyRIDE Timecutter Zero Turn Tractor 137cm XS5450 which is an absolute pleasure to work on and it won’t disappoint you in any way from what we have seen (except the price). At least with this supplier, you get a 90 day money back guarantee and a 3 year warranty for peace of mind as well as free deliveries and a reinforced front bumper for protection.
You should use the Toro SAE30 Premium Engine Oil in a 532ml pack and it comes with the smart speed technology so that the correct ground speed is chosen based on ground conditions. With the zero turn and mowing speed, you can save 35-40% mowing time and possibly more depending on what you are currently using. It has 2 dampened levers each side, it can handle large areas of up to 10k m2, the cutting width is 137cm and the fuel tank capacity is nearly 19 litres.
Working on tough ground conditions and slopes is no problem whatsoever and it is designed with the side discharge and mulching options. The engine used is a 725cc V-Twin Kohler, there are 13 mowing heights and overall we would have to say that this is a serious piece of reliable equipment to get large lawns, rough terrains cleaned up and mowed as quick as humanly possible as the speed level is nearly 13km per hour.
