A short video with some basic tips on ZTR (Zero Turning Radius) tractors inspired by Jon Ritter @ A Ritter Bit Will Do, who just bought a new-to-him Zero Turn tractor and was asking his viewers for tips. But this video doesn't just apply to Jon, but to any new or prospective Zero Turn owner.

Great points Chris. I have a neighbor that has a zero turn. He has an even more hilly property than I have. When we go on vacation, he mows my lawn. he lives my Kubota GR 2120 Glide Steer. He refers to it as a "zero turn". The weather looks beautiful there Chris. Love the outtakes

Great Video Chris All great points and love the Drone Footage Going down hill towards our pond on wet slippery grass unable to stop was probably the most inept feeling or experience I have had on our ZT You described the transitions of new ZT ownership perfectly Thanks for sharing Phil PFON

Thanks Phil. It certainly can raise the pucker-factor! My scariest moment was driving up a fairly steep hill with the bagger on the rear, but I hadn't put the weights on the front (you can see them in this video) and the front wheels came off the ground. Through blind luck, I instinctively yanked both levers back which slammed the wheels back down and got me off the hill. Very nearly a backwards rollover, and this thing has no ROPS! THAT, was REALLY breathtaking!

Good Infor Chris. As great as a zero turn is, it has its downfalls. Great training video.

Lots of fun David and hard to beat for grass cutting. A friend has a diesel Dixie Chopper with a 72" deck! Given its speed and maneuverability, 'm not sure a tractor with a 12' batwing could match it!

If I may add, you can also get rings around a tree where the slower inside wheel will decimate wet dirt under the grass and same with slowing down to turn when done aggressively. To any pilots thinking of buying a zturn please note the controls operate opposite to a rudder pedals. This will make your life miserable while learning and when quick reaction is required. You may turn the wrong way in the cockpit or in the lawn at a bad time. For what it is worth. Cheers!

You are absolutely right about turning around trees/obstacles...particularly in low traction situations like wet grass! Interesting thought about the controls...I am a pilot but never made a correlation between the steering arms of the ZTR and an a/c rudder pedals. Now my head is filled with cross-controlling my mower! 😉🤣 Thanks for watching! 👍😎
