Not all lawns are flat. Not all ride-on mowers are equal.
Keeping a bigger section tidy isn’t easy with a push mower. If you’ve ever spent hours walking behind one, you’ll know how much time and effort it takes, and how sore your legs and back feel afterwards. That’s where a ride-on mower changes the game. They’re faster, more comfortable, and built to handle the larger blocks and lifestyle properties we see all over Hawke’s Bay. With a ride-on, mowing becomes less of a chore and more of a quick, manageable job. And for some, relaxing and therapeutic.
A ride-on isn’t just a “bigger mower”; it’s about comfort, efficiency, and getting your weekends back. The right ride-on can turn a two-hour job into a 40-minute cruise, all without rattling your teeth or leaving patches behind.
At STIHL SHOP Napier, Marty and the team stock a wide range of ride-on mowers that suit Hawke’s Bay conditions, machines tough enough for rural blocks, yet smooth and reliable for lifestyle properties.
Ride-ons are an investment, which is why we don’t just line them up and hand you a brochure. Marty and the team take the time to understand your lawn care mowing situation, your terrain, and how you like to work.
We’ll help you find the ride-on that suits your land, your budget, and your comfort.
And because we’ve got models in-store, you can come down to Thackeray Street and test drive one for yourself before making a decision.
