Large properties like recreational parks, farms, acreage and rural properties will require a larger and more powerful mower then a standard residential mower. A tractor mower is much quicker to mow large areas. Harsh and difficult grass areas are mowed with ease and no frustration.
Lever Function on a Mower

The lever function on standard mowers is located on the side of the mower.
