Technical Deep Dives
Why Side Discharge Matters for Your Property
Side Discharge systems are engineered for specific mowing conditions. Untimed blades run independently at full RPM, maximizing discharge throughput. Without a collector chute to clog, the side discharge system handles thick, wet, and overgrown grass continuously — no stops, no blockages.
Lawn Tractor vs Zero Turn — Platform Choice
Lawn tractors offer lower center of gravity for hill stability, standard rear hitch for attachments (carts, spreaders, snow blades), and steering wheel control familiar to any operator. Zero turn mowers offer faster speed and tighter turning but lack hitch capability and are less stable on slopes. Choose tractor for hills, attachments, and long sessions; choose ZTR for flat, obstacle-heavy properties.
Hydrostatic Drive — The Residential Standard
The hydrostatic transmission provides automatic-like operation: press the pedal, steer, done. No clutch, no gear shifting. The LONCIN HT20 is rated for 1,500+ hours of residential use. For the LT-38S, a mechanical T2000 option is also available for budget-conscious buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you buy — answered by our product team.
Is side discharge better than rear discharge for thick grass?
Yes. Side discharge mowers handle thick and wet grass without clogging — grass exits the deck sideways with no chute bottleneck. Rear discharge collectors clog on heavy growth, requiring stops every 5-10 minutes to clear blockages. For seasonal overgrowth, post-rain mowing, or weedy areas, side discharge is the practical choice.
What's the difference between a lawn tractor and a zero turn mower?
Lawn tractors like the LT-38S have a steering wheel, lower center of gravity for better hill stability, and can tow attachments (carts, spreaders, snow throwers). Zero turn mowers use lap bars for steering, turn on a dime for faster obstacle navigation, but are tippy on slopes and lack hitch capability. Choose tractor for hills and attachments; choose ZTR for flat properties with many obstacles.
Mechanical vs hydrostatic transmission — which is better for a lawn tractor?
Hydrostatic: press pedal and go — zero learning curve, smooth variable speed, ideal for beginners. Mechanical: manual gear shifting — lower cost, simpler maintenance, suited for budget-conscious or mechanically skilled users. The LT-38S offers both so you can choose based on driving preference and budget.
Can a 38-inch lawn tractor handle 2 acres?
Yes, but it's the upper limit. At 7 kph with 38" side discharge, a 2-acre property takes approximately 45-50 minutes. For properties larger than 2.5 acres, consider the LT-42S for faster coverage with its 42" deck.
What blade rotation type does the LT-38S use?
Untimed blade rotation — both blades run independently at full speed for maximum side discharge throughput. Unlike timed rotation (used on rear discharge models for synchronized collection), untimed rotation prioritizes cutting speed over collection coordination.
Does the LT-38S have a grass collector?
No. The LT-38S is designed for side discharge only — no collector, no clogging, continuous mowing. If you need grass collection, consider the LT-40R rear discharge model with 320L collector.
